Not sure what to say?

I remember you Dad, John, a handsome man. Bobby Ritter was my closest friend growing up.

Karl Jens, Jr. a friend of my Dads on Major Ave, Nor. many years ago. The Jens family was "bigger than life." I remember Karl, Jr. as a younger man in the '50s. He reminded me of a young John Wayne--full of energy. Sympathy to all the family in the passing of a dynamic personality. God bless
