Dorie, sorry to read of Read's passing. He was such a kind man and we enjoyed boating with you two. I'm sorry I could not attend services as I was out of the country. Please know your family is in my prayers.

Dorie,Barb,and David, I just learned that Dr.B passed away. He was my dentist for 30 years, and so often he spoke of you all. I will always remember him with that twinkle in his eyes, and a smile on his face. My thoughts are with you, and my condolences for your loss (all of our loss). Happy sailing, Dr. B.

Barb, Jayne and I are deeply sorry for your loss. Your father was a wonderful man, a great storyteller and our family Dentist. Most of all he was a very nice man and brother Mason. God Bless you and your family in this time of deep loss. Sylvania will not be the same without Read Backus.
