Ron, Kathy and Robert, Our sincere sympathy to all of you. Your dad and I had a long chat this fall and I really enjoyed picking his brain! He told me about all of you and how proud he was of you.

Kathy, Ron, & Robert….So sorry on the loss of your Dad. He was such a GREAT guy. I have so many wonderful memories of your whole family. Kathy, your Dad never did put in that swimming pool that we had planned! Ron, catfish bait in hair doesn’t come out very well, does it? “Bobby”, your sister & I do feel bad that we left you behind all those times. (Right, Kathy?) May God be with you all during this difficult time. Agnes & Don are together again. 🙂
