Michelle, I 'm sorry for the passing of your grandfather. I remember having a coversation with him shortly after the start of my career at Miller. He told me how just a year or two previously he was still getting laid off during the winter months. Deepest sympathies, Harry Frederick

Dear Shirley, I remember Larry so fondly as a guy who helped me start my coaching career. He was dedicated to the Marines and the Miller Brewer Company, and was a great humorist and a sincere gentleman. He impressed me as a wonderful family man. I consider him a treasure in my life and, while this is a difficult time, think about his contributions to your life and all those he came into contact with. I am proud to call him my friend, and look forward to the future when we meet again.
