Julie and Steve be so proud of your dear mother and father. Your father greeted friends with a warm smile coupled with those twinkling eyes. We had fun memories of dinner gatherings at your 7th Avenue home. Of course the Towne Club friendships will always be cherished. Blessings to you both. Bill and Ann Owen
