Oh my gosh, how we forget to keep up with people's lives that we have known for many years. It is sort of like getting lost. I was not aware that
dick had survived until at least 2022. Sort of lost touch after his sister Gladys had died as to what was happening to the family.

With deepest sympathies. I worked with Dick at Armco during the late 70's and early 80's and I know that he will be missed.

Have very fond memories of the Griss family when we visited at Helen's oftentimes on Sunday. My Mother Hazel loved to spend time visiting with all and as children went upstairs to be measured By Grandma Bewley so see if we had grown taller. Pllease accept my sympathy for your loss.
