My condolences to the Andreis family who were always known for their honesty and integrity. I have fond memories of my father going to the Union Garage in the "old" days to have work done on his car.

Dear Margie, I am so very sorry about the loss of your Bob. I know it's been a while since we've seen you but I have such fond memories of my times in Fort Bragg when I relentlessly tried to chat it up with Bob and or, God forbid, tried to get him to dance with me and he would just nicely wave me off!! I annoyed him but he made me smile! He was truly a good man! My sincere condolences to you and your family.
