Dan and Sarah, Your Dad and Mom were good friends of ours. Doris and I had fun checking out different exercise programs--one at the elementary school and several at WOW. Dan and Herb knew each other from Dan's work on the duplicators at UW. And then Doris was in the Bryn Mawr choir with us and our daughters played flutes together. It was hard seeing Doris losing her battle with cancer and knowing that Dan would have a hard time after she was gone. We have lots of fond memories of Dan and Doris and we miss them both. Our sympathies to you and yours.

Dan and Sara, Sorry to read of your Dad's passing. We have many fond memories of time our families spent together. We had many good times with your Mom and Dad at A. B. Dick and Mitchell Co. parties. Our outings with them and Walter and Jo were also very special. Hope to see you in July.

Sarah, I'm so sorry for your loss. Looking through the pictures you've posted there's one thing I've noticed, especially in the more recent ones~despite all the health problems your Dad endured he still looked happy! And I think that was due in large part to his knowing you were there for him. He sure was blessed to have such a kind and loving daughter as you. I wish peace and comfort to you and your family during this difficult time
