John Franklyn Baumgartner

Sorry and deepest sympathy from an old friend Sam Darrough

Dear AdaLee, Barbara and Lynn,
My sincere empathy is with you today...somewhat of relief, but mostly of such a huge loss. My father, Harry, died 3/27/09 and mother, Shirley followed shortly and unexpectedly, 10/29/09. I never imagined how devastating the loss of our parents would be.--I hold all of you closely in my heart at this time. With many fond memories, Cheryl Linn Hewitt

Vaya con Dios, Frank. We both worked at the same time for Simonds Shields Theis and were friends.

I was so sorry to see that Frank passed. He was a dear friend of my Dad's; Bob Seiler. Dad always enjoyed being with him & spoke highly of him. Our prayers are with your family.

Mr. Baumgartner was so gracious and helpful to me when I was writing the history of the Kansas City Board of Trade. I wish to send my condolences to his family.
