I am very sorry to hear about Mr. Needham's passing. I worked for him at the Sears RDC in the late 70's. He was a wonderful person and it was a pleasure to work for him. Please extend my condolences to the family.

Some of my favorite memories have your parents in them! I feel so fortunate to have known them and honored to have been allowed to help care for them. We still talk about your Dad playing Bingo with us and whenever anyone else won he'd say.."Game's crooked!" That still makes me smile! Thank you for sharing them with us, we were blessed to have known them.
