Even though I haven't seen Uncle Roy for 35 + years his memory is quite vivid. Roy was a true character and a faithful Roman Catholic. With his passing all the siblings of my deceased mother Mildred are now all together in heaven. My deepest sympathy to Aunt Doris and the entire family. May God bless our extended family in the Chicago area. Sincerely, Roy Francis Kellerman

Greg - my name is Jim Little and I used to work with your Dad at H&B. It's been many years since I've seen your Dad but I did stay in touch for awhile. He was famous for his penmanship and remembering to send birthday cards. It's so ironic because I often wondered how he was doing and I googled his name tonight and saw that he had just passed this month. He was an amazing guy. Very unique. I was sort of the young buck with the company and I took over your Dad's territory in Chicago...
