Dear Robert, Pam, Wade and Linda…my prayers and deepest condolences go out to you and your families during this very solemn time. I am truly sorry and deeply saddened that I was not able to stay in touch after all these years. I think of Danny occasionally now and then and I just can't believe how time has gone by. Pam, our class president (Mike Mayer) called me last year when David passed, my sympathies and prayers to you. Last evening my sister (Kim) called regarding your mother. Although time has passed, I remember sitting in the kitchen at you're your parent's home in Fleetwood many times, and driving around in Danny's 63 or 62 Chevy. He loved that car. Please allow me to stay in touch. It would mean allot after all these years. My email address: [email protected]. CP 618-558-5056. I live just outside St Louis after retiring from the Air Force of more than 30 years. 5784 Pebble Ct., Smithton, IL 62285

To Pam, Wade and Linda
My deepest condolences in this time of sorrow, boy how I have SO many childhood memories of your mom and dad , the many late night card games in the kitchen and just all the fun times at your house . Shirley was a trip to be around but I learned not to get her mad ....... Linda remember the Starsky and Hutch night when cops called our moms and got them mixed up . There were too many good times and I will never forget Shirley or Fred ........ My prayers are with you all . Peace and Serenity
