I am sorry for your loss. I worked with Mr. Lange at Rosco Supply, Inc. until his retirement. I always found him to be a gentleman and enjoyed working with him in the bookkeeping Department at Rosco Supply.
Hope you will let God comfort you in this time of your loss. God bless you all during your time of sorrow.
