Dear David & Richard, I read of your Dad's passing this evening and I am sorry for your loss. Although it has been 30 years since I worked for him my most vivid recollection of your Dad was that he was a firm, yet fair employer. He earned the respect of his employees rather than demanding their respect which is all too common these days. He was a good man!

Dear Chip and family,
I just found out from Wade about your Dad..I am so very sorry to hear about his passing...We had some fun times together here in Florida. And of course knowing him since I was virtually a "kid" is a long time and he will be missed.
He was a strong and vital man and that is good! I send my love and prayers to all.
Love ,

Dear Voelker Family,
I am very sorry to read about the death of Mr. Voelker. He and my father, Frank P. Bridge, were friends for many years during their work with Chevrolet. Although I didn't know him personally, my father often spoke highly of Mr. Voelker. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.
