Steve and Sandy -- As you read this book one can see the constant theme here. Your dad was a stallwart of the neighborhood, and a good friend ( I am especially thankful for his friendship to my dad in his last days). Our neighborhood was a great place to grow up, and your family was one of the reasons. I wish you all the best.

I am sorry that I was unable to pay my respects in person; please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and yours and console you at this time.

Regards,
Terry

Steve and Sandy,
I was saddened to hear about your dad's passing from my father. He was always certainly a strong figure watching over Kirschener and Kelsey and keeping the neighborhood in line. I know my dad will miss him as will I.

Sandy & Steve--I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I have many fond memories of him, growing up as your neighbor across the street. It was always fun to chat with him while he was sitting on the porch. I will always hold those memories dear to my heart. You are all in my prayers. With love, Laurie (Poquadeck) Horan, Amanda & Evan
