Ray and Jane, heartfelt sympathies to you and your family. I think of you and the days of yore each time I pass the house on sixth street. Remember cleaning the chicken coop? Lord, I remember the smell still. The party in the shed out back. Sea scouts. Your mom and dad saw us thru it all. They were great people and my thoughts and prayers are with you this day.

We first met Bob and Evelyn thru George and Marion Kluesner in the late 50s. They helped a young Air Force couple adapt to New England and the seacoast culture. Had especially great times with them on the water they loved so much. They further helped settle us into a new house and were always there when needed. He was a talented wood craftsman, electrician,and mechanic. Fine wonderful folk and we appreciate them and miss them. We share sympathy with Bob's Family and many friends.
