We depended on Mr
HIMMELL, & greatly appreciated his help on our taxes for several years. His help and guidance was always kind and yet professional. We know he was very busy but he always made time for us.

Vivienne and Amy and all family of Roger. I was sad to learn of Roger's death . I extend sympathy to you as you are facing your deep loss. What a delight it was to relate to him at the RC when exercising there. I am thinking of you as you are living now on the east coast I believe. Leora Kline
