With our deepest sympathy on your loss. I remember one of the kindest men I have ever know who treated his nieces and nephews as if we were very special. Our memories are of happy times swimming, rides in his car, and especially the plane ride we took with him. Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Ambrose will always be remembered in our prayers.
