Bob, Ron, and Donnie and families,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Bud was a great guy and both your Dad and Sparky were so nice to me and my family. I'll never forget how they pitched in when we had our house fire in '63. I also remember the picture Theo had of your Dad with the bazooka on Omaha beach. We were all so grateful for his service and felt blessed that he survived!
My thoughts are with you and your family.

I enjoyed my visits with your Dad at residential care. My mother and him would watch POLKA every sat night. I never knew until these last few months that they went to school together. I have Phlox in my garden that come up every year that were given to me by Sparky. My mother and I send our deepest sympathies. Betty and Maureen Crook
