It is hard to adequately express the sorrow we are experiencing as we consider the loss of a friend who remained close despite the miles that separated our lives for the past 45 years. Despite the distance, it was always an occasion for cheer when Jack would call, or I would call Jack, and have him exclaim "TREEB!" Marsha, what a delight to spend last Thursday night sharing some of those memories. You are in our thoughts and prayers, that you would be encouraged and comforted. Bill and Nancy Treeby

Mr. Chanoux,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in Europe during the Cold War. Millions of Americans slept safe at night because you and your fellow servicemen stood ready to defend our Country. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
