I am so sorry for your lose. "Aunt" Jean and "Uncle" Rick were always there as long as I can remember. The two of you were even there for my family when my grandfather (PAtti) passed. The whole family is in my prayers and my family thanks you for all you've done lots of love

Dear Jean, Mark, Boo, and Gina,
I was sorry to learn of Rick passing away. It was sad that he had to hurt for so long. Know you were all good to him. I will always remember how he would smile and shake his head in agreement whenever I talked to him.
With very sincere sympathy,
Mary Margaret

I wish to extend my sympathy to Spot's family. I am a retired Press driver and had the pleasure of knowing Spot for years. He was a nice person, always nice to talk to and to work with. Also he is one of a disappearing breed of men who gave so much to their country in World War Two. A nice person and in my eyes one of the heroes of a bygone era. Rest In Peace Spot. Jack
