Bill and Ruth were my folks neighbors for many years living on 2nd Ave. North. Ruth and Mom (Lena Zarr) grew very close during their years as next door neighbors and I sincerely appreciate the loving care that Ruth showed my mom during their widowhood together. She was a great comfort and companion. My prayers and thoughts are with the family at this sad time.
