Not sure what to say?

He was a great guy, I will always remember him.

Dearest Nancy and John, Caroline and Margaret...We did not know and I could not be more sorry for that and for your loss of "Big Daddy". He was always so wonderful to Alix. We love you all.

Gosh, our dads were best buddies for many a year. I was so sad to hear of his passing, and now I know that sorrow myself. My dad, Ross Miller, passed away on May 10, also at age 91.(http://www.ranfranzandvinefh.com/obits/obituary.php?id=569481) They have always stayed in touch, and even this year your dad called, and got my dad in tears "he's such a good friend..." Sweet sweet fellows.
I'd like to think they are fly fishing or golfing somewhere together again in younger bodies. Weren't...

Nancy & Kathy:
Steve told me about your dad's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad left an indelible impression of pure optimism on me as a child and now as an older adult. All I remember is his grand smile and his generous nature towards everyone. He was a great human. We have been blessed.

What a positive, warm and funny man. I met him several times through Peggy. He was always such a joy to be around.I am sorry for your loss. Heaven has definitely gained a wonderful angel.

Dear Nancy and Kathy,
I am so sorry to hear of your dads passing. My dad was Dr. Herb Kennison and your folks would come to many a party at our house while I was growing up. I so remember both your mom and dad. Your dad was the best! He always remembered my brother's pom pom guns and would mention it every time I saw him. He pierced my ears even, my dad would not let me get them pierced unless a surgeon did it! I even had Novocain for the procedure, he also stitched up my hand when I had a...

Dear Kathy, I was so sorry to read about your father in The Denver Post yesterday. I know how much you loved him. I will never forget how proud he was of you on your wedding day. My condolences to you and your family.

I had the opportunity to have been a patient of this gifted and caring individual during a very difficult time in my life.

Earth's loss is indeed Heaven's gain!

I had the privilege of meeting Dr. McCurdy in June, 2008 while visiting his brother, Maxwell and nephew, Tom McCurdy in Purcell Oklahoma. We were both in Purcell for the PHS Reunion. Dr. McCurdy was such a joy to be around. He was always smiling/laughing and enjoyed visiting with everyone he came in contact with, making each person feel special. I know he will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
