Dear Glenn, Steve & Brad;
So sorry to hear of your loss. Art was a decent man who lived a
good life. Although it has been many years since we were neighbors on Caswell Ave., I remember well "baby-sitting" for Steve & Brad..and going snowmobiling with them.
Another member of the Derby Line family gone.
My condolences to all the Dow family.
Respectfully,
Jan Barber Caswell

It has been nice to get to know Art over the years, starting when I repaired autos in Derby Line at Jenne's and border Service, and Art was with Butterfields. Both Suzie and I both enjoyed getting to know Glenn as well in more recent years. We know he struggled a lot near the end. Our thoughts and Prayers go out to you, Glenn, and your family. Art was a decent man, and we know he will be missed. Remember all the good times, and all that you shared together in life. Remember to seek...
