Judy and Joe
Please accept my deepest sympathy with your dad's passing. Your parents were very unique. They were two of the sweetest people. They always had a smile on their faces,a kind word and made you feel welcome. I can see them in both of you. I'm sure your mom was there to welcome him Home.
Joe, may you rest in peace.

Joe and Judy, This is a sad day. I remember your father as a good man and a good neighbor. We had many talks and laughs together as I was growing up and beyond as I would visit him when I came to town (which became less frequent in recent years . He would greet us at his door and the years simply rolled away as if I had never left. I was reflecting just the other day about some of my experiences working for him at Dorn's Flowers during school breaks. Whatever the volume or weather, the prom corsages were always delivered! I know he missed Fern greatly and loved his children and grandchildren. I will miss him but treasure his memory as I do your Moms.
