Doris, I am saddened to learn of Hercky's passing but I would like to offer a few cherished memories of the two of you and celebration of his life. I remember the two of you and Mary and I playing like kids with our kids, the crab steamings, "Turk and Jacob", kiddingly telling Hercky how you had stopped the sink up by putting all sorts of veggies in it, and accusing you of hanging on to the rear car bumper as Hercky and I was leaving to shoot a couple of games of pool. I have many more fond and cherished memories of Mary, Hercky, you, and I that are too many to include.

Doris, I am sadden to learn of Hercky's Passing but I have extremely fond memories of the good times Mary and I had with the two of you and Marion and my kids playing together. I would like to also celebrate his life with the following memories I will always cherrish: I remember the crab steamings, the horseshoes, "Turk and Jacob". kiddingly blaming you for putting all sorts of things down the drain to clog it up, and finally accusing you of hanging onto the car bumper as Hercky and I were leaving to shoot a couple of games of pool. I also have many more great memories of a more serious note but way to many to mention.
