Not sure what to say?

To Gail and Donna, please accept our condolences on the loss of your father and our high school teacher and friend.

As you remember, your father frequently mentioned having had only one class for all four of their high school years at Harrington. Marion was one of the nine members of that class. (Mike only made three of his years.)

He was a great and positive influence on our lives. We have spoken of him often over the years and will continue to do so.

Hi Gail and Donna,
I think often back to the days at ECA and of your father. He was a wonderful man and an excellent teacher. There are many things that he taught us that I remember and use often. Norm Patterson and I are partners( for last 3 yrs) and we were just talking about him a week or so ago. Wondering where he was and if still alive. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I lost my father 5 yrs. ago this week so understand how you feel. Dianne
