Dad, you're birthday is coming up. Mom and I are going to celebrate your life. Not sure how yet, but a lobster dinner came to mind. We nixed eating sugar free desserts.

It's been been 3 weeks. Mom & I talk about you constantly. We love you so much and really, really miss you. Mom is keeping you warm, turning on and off the lights for you and still nags you about taking better care of yourself. She is amazingly strong. And your furry little daughter, Dory, keeps asking for you.

So sad to hear of"jb"'s death on march 17th. I am a Handley 1948 classmate of "JB's". He was very nice with his brother,Bill, in our class, and quiet....just the opposite of Bill.I called Winchester... our class officers in Winchester to inform her of"JB's" death.

Being roommates at VMI creates a lifelong bond like no other, and after marriage, wives are included in that special friendship. We grieve with all the family and are so sorry we can't be there for the memorial service.

Dear Claire & Family,
Being brother rats at VMI creates a bond unlike any other, and after marriage, sister rats become just as dear. We love you both and will miss so much seeing J.B. when we're next in Virginia.

To the Hyatt Family,
I worked with JB at ISI many years ago.
I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He was such a sweet, kind, jolly person. He will be dearly missed by all.
