Claran,
So sorry to hear of your father's passing my condolences to your family. I remember hanging at your house and your dad telling us stories. Good High School memories take care.

Gloria, Claran & Kristi, sending our sympathies on the passing of your husband and Dad. Boy did we have some great times with him! We'll never forget his great sense of humor (especially during birthday and slumber parties), his bartending skills at card club, and his dance moves, especially when he stood in for my Dad when he mysteriously disappeared during the bridal dance at Gary & Barb's wedding! Sending you all a hug. Joyce and Mike Gill
