Rick, Ross and Paula (and the rest of the family): Please accept our sympathy on the passing of your dad. I always admired his dedication to the Loganville High School football and basketball programs as well as his cheerful disposition. He was a great man who will truly be missed in the community. May God bless you during this time and in the days ahead.

Mickey and Family, Your dad and mom were heroes of mine while I was growing up. I loved to watch them bowl and when you were born I was ecstatic. The days I spent with Aunt Frances and Uncle Rich were days I could go to Lakewood Park and act like a "grown-up."



Charles and I so much appreciated your dad coming to Cy's funeral recently. I planned to visit you soon to talk about old times.



My deepest sympathy to all of you. There will be a great void that only you can allow to be filled. But with each other and God's help you will.



Love to you all, Suzanne (Stewart) and Charles Dunn
