JoAnn Mandell

Art and JoAnne were dear friends of my mother and father, Doris and Jerry Gruver. My parents were having the Mandel's for dinner the night that my dad passed away of a heart attack on the sidewalk across from Freddy's Feed and Read. They remained friends with my mom and supported her in her grief over the years. I also appreciate art as he came to BeeHive Homes where I work and shared his time with many of our residents over the years.

The Mandela were stalwart members of our Missoula community. Their Dairy Queen was an oasis of delight to young and old. John always bragged of how February was their best month because folks couldn´t wait any longer after they would close for winter. Great memories. Condolences to the family.
