Ed,Karen,Terry,Lisa,Kim and Shelly,and families,

Unc was a very special man to me. He was more than an Uncle he was a friend and mentor. He taught me so much about Shipping & Receiving at Morrison. He was like a second Dad to me, and I will always love him for that. He was the one I could talk to when I needed a shoulder. He will be truly missed not only to his family but to so many many other people who had the honor and pleasure of knowing him. Rest in Piece with Aunt Shirley...

My deepest condolences to the family. I know your father will be missed by all who loved him.

To Kim, Lisa and the LaFrance family,
I am so sorry for your loss. May the memories and the stories of your dad keep him alive and well in your hearts forever.
