I was so sorry to hear about Mr. Marler. He was always so pleasant when he was in the office. He was a hoot, actually. No matter how bad he felt he always seemed to be happy with yoy at his side. I will surely miss him and I know you will too.

We lived across the street from the Marlers for 10 years, and couldn't have asked for better neighbors. Harold was a wonderful, caring man who never failed to speak when he saw us. He was always a joy to talk to, and he will be sorely missed. Our condolences to Barbara and the family. Please don't hesitate to call if you need anything at all.
