Dorothy and Family -
It seems like yesterday when we visited with "Fuzzy" and you at the St. Luke Church anniversary. When I was young and used to stay at Earl Pagel's, we knew when we saw a big dust ball, it was "Fuzzy" on his way to pick up his girl Dorothy!! I remember no matter where I was, if I heard laughter, it meant "Fuzzy" was near by telling a joke.
Our deepest sympathy to you all -
