Dear Shirley......Please except our deepest condolences. Your dad was a good friend to us as we were a couple of his "dunks" buddies here in Everett. We so looked forward to his happy and charming personallity. He truely was one of the "great ones". He was always so proud of his family as he talked about you all the time. I remember hot summer evenings singing and dancing with him at "dunks" and he would just put everyone in a good mood...He will so dearly be missed by all. Please take care...
Sincerely with God's Love
