Gloria, John, Karen and Mike,
I'm so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I remember as a young girl coming to your house to stay after my mom left for work until my dad came home from his job. I always had fun with all of you. We had such a unique neighborhood, I miss those days so much. Your dad was such a great guy, I miss seeing him and Mr. Van Slyke at Big Boys on Monday mornings. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
Love to all,
Debbie...

John,Mike, Karen and Gloria families. I wanted to stop by and pay my respects Sunday, but I was delayed out of town due to the storm. Joe was a good man. I have many fond memories.... May God bless you all during this difficult time

I am so sorry to hear about your father's passing. I haven't seen Mike and Jill in a long time but I have seen Karen throughout the years when she would bring her boys to The Kostume Room. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Gloria, John, Mike and Karen,
One by one the old "pillars" of Badger Street pass on from this life to the next. It's so hard to believe that the years go by so quickly. I want to express my deepest sympathy to all of you. Yoor dad was always a very kind and generous man to all of the kids in the neighborhood and will always be remembered. May the Lord grant you peace and comfort in this time of sorrow.
Blessings! Donny Van Slyke
