Dear Colleen and all of the family,

I'm sorry to hear of your Dad's passing away. In the 60s, when you lived on E. Main street, I remember when the Mister Softee truck would come round...you'd all be out there with your change...I distinctly remember Dickie liked the Cherry Chillaroos, as his entire face was red upon finishing his treat. Please forgive my irreverence, as I know virtually no other way to pay respects.
Colleen miss you from the Pierce Avenue Era.
