Not sure what to say?

While reading the GR Press online, I caught the name Boughner. I kept trying to remember how I knew him. Then I saw he worked at Blacmer Pump. I worked there for only 6 months but I still remember what a kind man he was. Always a smile, always a kind word. God has gained a saint.

Very sorry for your loss, I had the privilege of being at Silver Lake and seeing Gale was always a treat.

Dear Jackie,
What a joy it was to see Gale at our /EGR reunion in Sept., even though he wasn't feeling 100%. I remember other reunions, too, when I sat at your table and had great conversations. What a handsome guy, too. this is nice story of his life. Please know that I am thinking of you during this most difficult time for you, especially, and for your family. I send my love and sympathy.
Fondly, Judy V. Petrie

My sincere sympathies for your loss.
