Ann and family, we truly send our condolences for your loss. I came to know your mom when I worked at Scotts and your dad when I worked with him and Floyd Denton. I truly am a better person for having known them. I am sure that they went to be with Our Father God. May God bless and fill the void left in loss of them here and now.

He was a great guy to be around. I so enjoyed the way he saw things, even is it got us in trouble in church some times. I will miss knowing he is in this world with us, but am happy knowing he is with Miss Gerturde. Our sympathies to you all. Love

Ann and family. Although you don't know me, your mom kept us up to date on you and your family for as long as she was alive. Denton, Pete and Chuck drilled together for many years and we loved to stop in Carlin when passing through, so they could share old stories and what was going on with old friends. Denton and Gertrude were a remarkable pair. Sent birthday cards to every one of my children and even my grandchildren they had never met, even after we had moved from Carlin. God bless you all.
