My dear friend and adopted brother-Our friendship started 65 years ago the day you met your beloved Beverly. I still can't believe that you both have passed on and am missing you both. Thank you for this wonderful journey of friendship. As we have always reminded each other that we are more than friends-we are family. Thank you for playing Taps at Ken's grave-that meant so much to me and thank you for being special you-you are missed!!! I will be there for your family because that's what families do God Bless.

I am so thankful that God chose me to be your daughter (a.k.a. Princess). You were my hero and will remain so. You always made me feel so special. You always made me feel safe. You were always there for me. I hope I did you justice as a daughter. You are responsible for the woman I became as much as Mom was, although you were too humble to accept that. I honor you today for the amazing man you were. Funny, silly, smart, all-around amazing. In my eyes, you were brilliant...not borderline-brilliant. I feel honored that I was with you till the end. ♥ We will meet again one day and I hope you and Mom usher me through the gates of heaven. Until then, I love you with my whole heart...forever and ever! Dooley Your Princess.

Wally--our "porch buddy"---we will miss you SO ! Walks around the neighborhood will never be the same again without a stop on Wally's porch-where we solved all the world problems, played with all the dogs, caught up on everyone's life happenings. Wally we will miss you playing Happy Birthday or Patriotic tunes for the appropriate Day's celebration on your Clarinet . Wally we love you and will forever miss you-but we know you are with your beloved Beverly playing the Clarinet for her in Heaven.
All the Knollwood Neighborhood.
