Tom, I just learned of your father's passing today. Ironically, i received a text while watching Tuesday's with Morrie...about Mitch Albom's "coach" Morrie...Your dad was my first coach after moving to Shelby Township...and as a young boy moving to a new city...I was nervous. He pulled me aside one day...and said I'd fit right in Shelby...and complimented my baseball play...then "Drafted" me to play on his/and your team. 6th grade...11 years old. I'll never forget that moment as it took my nervousness away...Wanted to share how he touched me in that one year of baseball...I know it has been a few months since he passed...but I felt I should share....lifting you all up in prayer...David Rutz

Dear Lois and Dr. B's entire family - I will always cherish the times working for Dr. B and the kind and generous man he was! He left such a great imprint on me as young person starting out in the work force...he has forever been a great example of what a boss should be. I have yet to find one that measures up. I'm so sad form this news but he is with the Lord and at peace. Love to you all. Mikki xo
