Gary, we had such good times with your mom and dad. We celebrated our birthdays together, holidays and any excuse for a party! Dan and Norma loved to do the crossword puzzles while Don and I visited. Don loved Norma treats and they even shared shared their biscuits and gray receipe with us! I remember how Don and Dan would stoke the the fire for the mapling syruping, swaping tales of their life experiences. They truly enjoyed each others company. I will always remember our great times together and miss them.

Don and Norma were such wonderful friends. I can't even begin to list the memories we had with them: maple syruping, "coffee good", planting 100 basil plants, pulling the big red car out of the ravine, making pesto, building our house, and fantastic biscuits and gravy....we will never forget the love and friendship we shared with your mom and dad! We had a once in a lifetime friendship with them. We will truly miss them in our lives.

Bruce & Gary, I'm so sorry to here about your dad. The adults in our Bloomington neighborhood on Girard were the closest adults in my childhood. Your parents were the best! I remember them with great fondness. My condolences to you and your family and your dad's friends.
