My sincerest sympathies, Shirley, Art & Rhonda. There is a special place in my heart for my Uncle Ardash. He was one of the nicest, most thoughtful people that I have met in my entire life. When I was growing up, he was the one adult that always had time for us kids and did things that made us feel special.

So very sad to think that we'll not get to share good times with Abbey again. The youngest '92' anyone could ever know, Abbey's heart was as full of warmth and love as anyone I've ever met. A joyful, giving spirit; a truly unforgettable person. Our sincere condolences go out to you, Shirley and all of your family.

Consummate gentleman, friend, and a very special EC Washington Senator. I was truly honored to have known him. My sincerest sympathy to his family and I'm sure he will be greeted "up there" by Coach John Baratto & Abbey's "circle" of Nick Sarengach, Cookie Vann & Jake Aruzmanian. Mirko Blesich

Dear Shirley & Family-
Very sorry to read of the passing of Abbey. He was a gentleman with a good sense of humor.
He was of great service to many thru his chosen profession and civic/philanthropic endeavors.
May your faith, family, friends and memories give you comfort, strength and peace.
In deepest sympathy-

Oh Arthur and Russell, I was so sad to read that your dad has passed away. I want to extend my heartfelt sympathy to you both and your extended family. Also, I was never able to extend to you my deepest sympathy upon hearing about the passing of your sister Nana.
By the way, this is your former babysitter from way back when Linda (Stack) Solberg. My brother Paul has been keeping me up to date about communicating with Arthur. Boy thinking about way back then seems like a hundred...
