Dear Gary, Diane, and Family: Please accept our sympathy for your loss. We are never ready to part with our dear parents, are we? Although I didn't know your father, Gary, I certainly gained a sense of his personality and faith from reading the other guest book entries. I know you are comforted by your confidence in a shared eternity. Best regards,

I will always remember the virtue of patience that my Grandpa exhibited to everyone, and in every aspect of his life. He is a major reason why I am the man I am today. I will carry many memories of our time together throughout the rest of my life. One of these memories I will always cherish most of all, is him taking me to see the freight trains near his home every time I heard one passing.

Chet was well respected and well loved by everyone who knew him, and he will be missed. He was a gentleman and kind to everyone, always with a smile and never letting on that he was feeling bad. Our prayers are with you, Dorothy and Dee, and family.
