I just learned of your dad's/husband's passing. I am so sorry for you loss. I have such wonderful memories of living next door to all of you...your folks coming to the LaVaque Bastille Day party, the chats through my bedroom window, your dad's laugh. I will keep all of you in prayer.

Dear Mark, Christa, Nancy, Bill and families,
Your dad was such a thoughtful and outgoing man. I always appreciated how he (and your mom) included me as part of the family on so many occasions. From the early days at Camp Gorham right up to our last visit at Eric and Tam's wedding, he was genuine in his concern for my health and happiness. His positive attitude and spirit was always present. And his love for his family and community evident. We share a birthday and I will continue to remember his humor, wit, and kindness. I am grateful to have known him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Nancy and Steve
