Dear Auntie Faye, Rick, Randy and Rob,I have such wonderful memories of uncle punk. Never once did I ever see him angry, he had the patients of Job. It was always great to see you all at Christmas and in the summer we had some great times. Our love and prayers go out to all of you. I wish I could be there, but I'm waiting on the arrival of my second grandchild

Love to all of you Marty and Steve Crane and family
