Bob & Lynn, Thinking of you at this difficult time. He was quite remarkable as I was reminded in the Buffalo News article. So many talents and skills and so much artistic expression. He truly spoke through his art with his painting, carving and music. And he continues to speak after his passing with that artistic legacey.

Bob and Lynn,
Words never seem adequate at such a time, but please know that others feel your loss and share your sorrow. I am so glad and grateful that John and I had a chance to spend time with your Dad and to get to know his cousin. He was so talented and gracious. It meant a lot to both of us.
I hope that you will find comfort in each other and in your family and friends. I hope, too, that you will find comfort in memories of the good times you shared. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Linda Dott and the Miller family

Your father was a truly talented man. I enjoyed the years that I worked with him at UL, he was always a joy to be around.
