You will be surely miss not only by the children but the parents also. i came and help with serving the children at Muldoon Community Center and ate with the children "his words as long as you eat all your food and don't waste it and help clean up afterward you'll always welcome" sending my sincere condolence. Great man.

Elgin ask us, The Fairview Community Council board members, if he could have backing to set up The Kids Kitchen. I voted yes, and later got an article written about him, and had The Kids Kitchen put on Ch.2. TV for him.
He loved his work, he was a lucky man.
Our deep sympathy to all who miss him.
With Love, Mary Dee Wheaton & son William Piers
