To: The Krause Family
Dear Folks,
Dick and I were kid baseball players in Shenandoah Park and maintained our friendship until the closing of Bill and Ted's.
I always enjoyed kidding Dick's grandson about baseball and his grandad. -- all lots of laughs and humor.
Dick was a longtime friend of 70 years and it was the good times together that I remember.
We have you in our thoughts and prayers.
Tom, Virginia and "The Woodpile"
