Dear Gary and Barbara and to Nancy and Todd as well,

I am so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed meeting your father around town after I moved back in 1991. I called on your mom and he but after Mr. Fuerst moved from accross the street from me, I lost touch with him. He was so positive, interested and always had a fine word to say about each of you. I have shared the news with my sisters,

I am so very sorry for your loss.Your father meant so much to me. His sense of humor, compassion for others and his passion for life (and politics) made him such an incredibly wonderful man. He will be forever in my heart and a continual inspiration to me on how to live and love life. I will cherish the time I had with him and the connection he gave me to my parents when they were gone. My heart and prayers go out to each of you. We were all so lucky to have had him in ours lives and he will be forever in my heart.
