Faye - I was truly saddened to hear about Jay. I will miss him greatly. As a child he always made me feel like I was the best. We were the "lawn dart" champions remember!! My thoughts and prayers are with you. I regret we couldn't be there with you but Mom just didn't think she could make the trip! We love you.

I have such fond memories of "G'ma and G'pa" Hurst. They always treated me like an adopted grand daughter. I met them when I was 5 years old! My, how time flies! Thanks for treating me like one of your own. I appreciate that so much. Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole Hurst family.

Jim & Donna. Sorry to hear about the passing of your dad "J". Oh the memories I have of him while I was in my apprenticeship. Between him and his brothers there was never a dull moment around the shop. I remember the time that J just got back from a vacation down south. We were in the D-500 area and he was training me. I think I heard about every single happening of his trip. One of a kind man and I truly enjoyed working with him. I am sure, knowing him, he is watching over you now as he did...
