Brian-

So glad that your dad made the last military reunion - you took such great care of him. I will always remember his last words "I hope you have a happy life. I know I have". If we can all say that at the end, then that is a life well lived! Not all people are that loved.

Fondly,

Lauren

Dear Brian, Michael, Megan, Lisa & family,
I am so sorry for your loss of a great father & grandfather...I only met your grandpa one time back when you were all litlle, he was as kind as could be...more importantly he loved all of you so much. Your mother thought the world of her in-laws. Over the yrs many times kind words were spoken about how loving they were. I know he will be in your hearts forever. I look forward to hearing stories about him when ever I see you guys. With Love & sympathy,
Marilyn

Dear Maes family,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you during this difficult time. Karl and I view it as a priveledge to have met and talked with Skeets. He was a true American hero in our eyes and he lived a great adventure. He was a family man and you will have that and other wonderful memories to always hold in your hearts.
