Please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your father and grandfather, "Uncle Eddie." He came to visit our family many times over the years and I have very fond memories sitting around the breakfast table with him and listening to his funny stories. He had a great sense of humor and a contagious laugh.

I always appreciated him making the trek to Utah to attend my wedding and my dad's funeral.

With much respect and love,

Our family wishes to extend our sincere sympathy to you upon the passing of your Dad and Granddad, and we want you all to know how much our family has enjoyed our visits with "Eddie" ("Uncle Eddie") and family members over the years.

We all loved Eddie's sense of humor and greatly appreciated the long solo driving trips he took across the country to be at our family weddings and Chuck's funeral. Although we are unable to make the trip at this time, please know that our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with you at this difficult time of his passing.

With much love and sympathy, Marlene Norcross and family
