Dear Hank, I am deeply saddened to hear about Wally. We shared so many interesting times, from the Ruth Cooper Center, philatelic interests, to friendship and wonderful time spent with the two of you. I shall truly miss him. Please do let me know if there is anything I can do to assist you. Much love, Jack

Dearest Candice, Penny, Wally and Melissa:
Uncle Dennis and I send our love and condolences to you and your families. Your father was so bright and interesting. I have such fond memories of him in deep discussions with your grandfather (Papa), and your Aunt Karen about politics, history, music and religion. May you all have fond memories of him as well. Love to you all.
