Hi Bud:
It's your wife, Joan, again. I hope you are happy in your new home. We missed you at Christmas. Your 80th birthday is upon us, soon. Sorry you can't be here to share it with us. Pray for us, as we pray for you, daily. Love, always: Joan

Hi Bud: It's your wife, Joan, just letting you know that someone else has joined you(if you don't already know). It's Bruce's son, Jeff, who died of carbon dioxide poisoning in Bruce's garage. Tell him that we all miss him. Courtney's "Court's for Courtney" was a big success. Her friends from Doherty, UNH, and AAU Basketball all played, as well as Eric, Brian, Cassidy, Megan, and Allie. There were others too numerous to mention. There's a candle burning at the cemetary for both you and Courtney. Maybe, you can ask the person in charge to lay off of us for a while. Love: Mom

Dear Family,
My brother(Brent) and I will always remember the "good times" working for Bill at the Oxford Twin Drive-In. He always treated us like we were his children and gave our own parents the knowledge that we were safe there...am so glad we had such wonderful memories of our years with him.
Our deepest sympathy to each of you.

I will always remember those good times in the old neighborhood- like those Tuesday night card games and the block parties. We shared a lot of laughs. My sympathies to the family.
