Tim- sorry I was not able to be there to celebrate your father's life and be with you and your family at this sad time. I have great memories of our training Scoutmaster and the cantankerous master of the ancient camp kitchen appliances among so many other things.

I enjoyed Bob and was glad for our time together drinking coffee at McDonalds. He was a nice man and I'll miss him.

I had the pleasure of knowing Mr.Jewett. He was a patient in the urology practice where I worked. We had an instant connection. He was a kind thoughtful and amazing man. He talked about his love for his family. The world was a better place with him in it and he will be sorely missed by all who knew him. My God bless his family at this difficult time.
