Nancy, Joe & Andy
We are so sorry to hear of your dad´s passing. Your family were wonderful neighbors to us. Your dad was quiet and had a wonderful sense of humor. One night he made time to come up to our home at night to take pictures of the Buckley boys with their parents so I could gift it to the them. He was a man of faith, Treasure the memories of them.
