My sincere condolences to my high school classmate, Jerry, & his entire family. My father also was in the Army & participated & was severely wounded in the Normandy invasion. Unfortunately, he passed away long ago (46yrs). Since I left West Jeff soon after graduation, I didn't know the rest of your family, but I'm sure they are just as warm & sincere as Jerry & his wife Linda. It isn't easy to lose a parent. I know firsthand, as my Mom died just last month. Please know that you have many classmates & other friends who have you & your family in our thoughts & prayers. Should you need anything, please let us know.

Our deepest condolences to the Doran family. Richard was my Great Uncle from my Grandma Marge Detterman. I have fond memories of his caring and kindness to me as I was growing up. I wished the years had not separated our family so much but the love has always been there.
