Dear Val,
I learned late last week of your Dad's death, and am sorry to have missed you at Cody's, unaware of the gathering. All of us at Kiwanis have fond memories of John and his many years with us at the Tory Brook. Please accept my condolences and those of the men and women of the Club who were privileged to know such a gentleman. Chris
