Don't ask me why but I decided to google your dads name and came across his recent obituary. Condolences Karen and Bruce from a blast from the past.... My mom was Charlotte Hedlund, your moms best friend!

I have such fond memories of Mr. Aikman from my family's years on Wardman Rd. He was always kind and a true gentleman. I send my deepest sympathies to both Karen and Bruce. May the love you shared with your Dad sustain you in the difficult days ahead.

It was a pleasure to work for Mr. Aikman and get to know him over the years. I will miss his teasing and his bright smile, and I will always remember him each time I put a jigsaw puzzle together. He made a puzzler out of our whole family. Praying for you all during this difficult time.

Farewell dear friend, fellow worker and colleague. You will be missed. Thanks for the memories. It was an honor to know you on so many levels and especially in all our common interests including toy trains. A true legend of Applied Design Co. Inc has entered eternity.
