Dear Mrs. Trethewey:

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy at the passing of your husband, and my former 5th grade teacher at Pleasant Grove School back in the

1976-77 school year. He made learning FUN... and I will always remember the chess games he used to play with me in class, the school softball team he coached me on, and most importantly the way he challenged me to always do my best. While it has been about 25 years since he was my teacher...I will never forget him.



May God bless you and your family.

Dear Diane and Christy. May my thoughts and prayers be with you during this time of great sorrow. I will allways have the funniest memories of Dick. Though it has been decades since the last time I saw him, he was allways telling jokes and laughing the loudest. One moment I will never forget, is when my brothers blew up a steel bucket behind the garage, Dick was the first to come running out to make sure every one was OK.

My sincere condolences go out to the both of you.



Love always,

George
