Though I have not lived in Paso for 10 years, I will always be a Paso Roblan. Worked and attended the old Methodist Church at 14th and Oak with Cindy and Karl. I think of your family often and I pray the Lord will bless you all with his peace, comfort and understanding at this time.

Every year dad would take his vacation from the Boys School to be the Head of Security for the San Luis Obispo County Fair. Every day I would get up at 6am and go to the fair with dad, not to return home till after midnight. Every Fair, there would be Waldo and Betty and every time we saw them I was reminded of what good friends dad had in them and what wonderful people they are. Losing dad in 1972 was one of the hardest things in my hard life and this brings it all back, I am reminded that there are not enough people like that around anymore and to be one myself. Godspeed to Betty and be sure to tell dad hi for me.. it was so good to have known you both. All our love to Waldo, Nanci and Cindy in this time of loss, let us know if there is anything we can do..

My family had a poulty farm on Creston Road near the Carminatis when I was a kid. While it has been more than 40 years since I last lived in Paso Robles, I still remember how pretty, kind and vivacious Betty always was. My thoughts are with Waldo, Nanci and Cindy.

A loving lady who always had open arms for me during the good and bad times. I will always remember Waldo and Betty's house being open to me and regardless of Waldo's complaints, Betty always had a place at her dinner table for me. Waldo, Nancy, Cindy and all the family, I join you in your loss. May the memories of a very special lady, help to temper the grief you are experiencing.

Dear Nanci, Waldo and Cindy--The notice of your mom's passing in today's paper brought back many fond memories. I can still savor the big spagetti feed that she and Waldo shared with Ronnie, Wes and myself on more than one occasion. Waldo, you were the happiest-go-luck guy I've ever met. I doubt if you ever met a stranger. Keep smiling! Cindy, I remember us trying to hook you up with my younger brother Bill when you were still in elementary school. Lot's of good memories. Barbara and I share in your sorrow but relish the fond memories of a wonderful lady and her family. Nanci, write us when you can at [email protected] or call us at 544-8641 the next time you're in SLO. LeRoy and Barbara Davis
