Dear Hellstrom family, I didn't know your dad, but he sounds like he was a wonderful man. I'm so sorry for your sudden loss; may wonderful memories sustain you. Sincerely, your classmate, Theresa ( McKoy) Tonner.

My deepest sympathies to you all,
God Bless

I remember watching him coach little league basketball...

Lory and family,
I was saddened to hear about your Dad and so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
