Mary, Lucy and John,
What a great neighbor your Dad was to all of us Cheviron’s . I’m sure all of us boys tested his patients on more than a few occurrences. We were fortunate to have all of you as neighbors. God Bless and prays to all.

He was my fathers best friend. They worked, fished and always argued when dad was several weeks older. You will be missed
