We have so many happy memories of your parents and the many years we spent together at Indianola Presbyterian Church and the good times Sarah and Jan spent visiting in each other's home. Jan and Chris almost share the same birthdays, if I remember correctly. Unfortunately, our health is such that we will not be attending the calling hours or the worship service. Please accept our sincere sympathy in your loss. Treasure your sweet memories. Sincerely, Bob and Sue VanStavern

Dear Family, I was sorry to learn of Frank's death. He was my piano prof. at Capital in the 60s and he was the organist at our wedding 52 years ago. He was a kind, gentle and supportive teacher and a very talented musician. I can only imagine what a wonderful father he must have been. You have my sincere sympathy, and you will be in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Betty Grube Long

Prof. Hussey was a fine and inspriring piano teacher (many years ago at Capital), and above all a kind and gentle man. Over the years I've appreciated his influence on my music. Condolences to his family and friends.
