Dear Farr Family: What a wonderful service for Bill today. Greg, you did great honor to your father in one of the toughest jobs to be found.

Dear Kay and family, Our hearts go out to you in the loss of Bill. We recall so many fond memories from Burke Ave. Please know we hold you fast in our prayers and our thoughts. Barb and Frank Van Buren

I expect my father will greet him in the great beyond and they will find some perfect fishing spot to recommence their favorite pastime together. Love and aloha to you all. Anne Andersen (VanderHyde)
