Rod and I like to offer our condolences to Mrs. Appleton and her family! We couldn't been more blessed with better neighbors for the last 19 years! Always, happy, pleasant, caring, sociable and looking out for you! I loved looking across the street during one of their large gathering, hearing you laugh as you, your wife were surrounded by your children, grandchildren grandchildren, especially during the holidays or an OSU game! Such a nice, genuine man who was pround to be a Marine, patriotic, showed respect for the American flag. A couple years after we moved into the neighborhood we put a flag on our front door, he kindly reminded us that we had it backwards. Mr. Appleton, thankful to God for your service as a proud Marine, as a neighbor, we will forever miss your greeting of "Hi neighbor!" RIH!! Rod & Rosemary Ruffing
