To the family: Saying good-bye must be the hardest thing in the world for you, and words seem like such little things compared to what all of you are going through. With deepest sympathy.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Dudley! I have always enjoyed Dudley when he would come to my desk just to say "Hi" and then back to OR. He was always cheerful and knew no stranger. He will be missed by all who knew him!
I only wish I had known he had passed before now, the day of his funeral. I was talking to a friend at 2:10 today while his funeral was in progress. I would have been there for you Bill, Brenda & Sandra.
Our deepest sympathy.
