Marilyn, Mark & Diane and All



I know how hard it is to lose a father and the loss you must feel. This last year hasn't been a good one has it!

I haven't seen your dad in awhile and really didn't know he was that ill, I guess being caught up in our own grief has kepted me to preoccupied of which I am so,so sorry.



Marilyn, Please know that you and all your family are in our thoughts and prayers and have our Deepest Sympathy,



Love you all.

Russ & Charmaine

Mark, My heart goes out to your Mother, and sisters Marilyn and Diane and the rest of your extended family.



I will always remember your Dad and Mom as "Eddie -n- Haze" What a great pair They were when we were growing up... Your dad taking us fishing in the little boat that hung in the garage, your Mom taking us out by Centerville & Hallam to hunt, then driving back 4 or 5 hours later to pick us up.



I remember "Eddie" Telling us of his days in Chicago recalling the "Sox" and the "Cubs".

Remember riding our bikes in the middle of the night during the summer to visit your mom at "Mister Dougnut" at 3am.



I also remember what a meticulous guy your dad was when it came to the upkeep of his cars, and anything in the garage, right down to the clear "bumpy" seat covers on the Tan Chevy.



Try not to dwell on the sadness of recent events, but recall the days of growing up and being with your dad in times of good health and happy moments.. for it it is those moments that will live with all of you forever.



With deepest sympathy Conrad Good.
