To the Ermak family,
I am so sorry I missed the viewing this morning. Mr. Ermak was always such a positive guy. I always will remember him down at Maple Valley. Whenever I saw him he put a smile on my face. My deepest condolences to you all.

Tom, Libby, Matthew and Ryan - We're so sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad/Grandfather. I have the memory of him sometimes picking up Matt and Ryan after they spent the day at our house. It's been a while since we've seen you, but know that you're in our thoughts. Take care.
