To Barbara and Jerry and Family,

I remember your dad as vibrant and joyful, as well as purposeful in what he did. The obituary reflects that, and reminds me that he and my dad were friends, and were the same age. Although we lost contact with you long ago, I still remeber the fun times we had together as friends. May God continue to bless your family, and give our best to Bobby and Mary.
