Dear Buchner Family,
My dad, Eric Wickman, was a friend of your dad for many years, as you know. I will always remember the many wonderful barbershop shows that they both performed in. And also remember that your dad kindly would give my dad rides back and forth to practice. I am truly sorry for your loss of this very gentle and kind man. May he rest in peace.
Sincerely, Margaret Wickman Markgraf
