Hey good buddy, I have been kind of in a trance the last two years as I lost my precious Ruth on Feb. 28, 2022. Hopefully, you have run into her in heaven and she probably filled you in. That roof you and I put on our place around forty years ago never leaked one drop of water. During a heavy wind four single tiles of four three tab sections blew off, but still no leaks. Then the insurance company googled our home and ordered us, Linda and I to replace the roof or they would cancel our insurance. So we now have a thirty year roof on. I hope it is half as good as the one you and I put on. Say hi to all from here that you meet up there. You are sure missed down here, but are in a better place and the suffering is over. God bless you good friend. Al Ramey and Linda Smith.

In our over fifty seven years friendship so much water has gone under the bridge. So many things have happened, both good and bad. One of my favorite things that I (Al) am going to miss is the phone ringing and when I answer you say, "hello handsome" and we talk an eternity even though there wasn't that much time. We worried about you near the end as you didn't sound yourself, but you put on a good front. We so admired your hard work and determination in moving all the things up on the mountain. We wish things could have been different the last few years but they wern't. Well good friend, the suffering is now over and may you find everlasting peace and comfort with the Lord. Our hopes and prayers are with the family at this time. Sincerely, Al and Ruth Ramey and Linda Smith.

I take comfort in knowing that we have another special guardian angel to watch over us. Howard was so special to us during this short time we knew him through the Eagles - we so enjoyed serving him dinners and listening to his silly jokes. We will certainly miss his "Grizzily Bear Hugs" and wonderful sence of humor... but we are so glad he is at peace now... God took a wonderful friend to that great Eagledom above and we look forward to seeing him again in the future...

Trena, I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for you on saturday. I remember him coming over to your house in Seatac and regaling cris and I with his jokes...some of the jokes I think I will try to forget, but I do remember how nice he was. He made a point of always saying hi, even when he didnt remember my name, he knew I was friends with you and made sure to try to bring a smile to my face. Many hugs to you my friend. Love you. ~Becky
