Cal,Bill and Beth,
I am so very sorry to hear of your father's passing and due to business constraints I could not attend the service. He was a good man and a wonderful father to you guys. I remember some good times at your house "back in the day" and your Dad and Nannie always looked out for us. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. Please accept my most sincere condolences.

Cal, Bill and Beth,
I have just learned of the passing of your father. His Friday evening visits to my parents home was regarded as always a good time for all involved. I often traveled to Virginia just for that Friday night event. Please accept my sympathy, he will be sorely missed.
