My condolences go out to the Balthis family. My Parents always spoke highly of Henry and his son Russ was like a second son to my parents. My Brother Ronald Dundon grew up with Russ and were best friends up until their untimely deaths, both of Cancer in their early 30's. Russ and his family helped our Family through many hardships. God has a very special place set aside in Heaven for the Balthis family.

Uncle Henry was always very quite when he was around us. Of course, he couldn't really get a word in with so many people around. I rmember how much he loved tulips and him bringing my mother black ruffled ones. It is sad that so many of our dear uncles and aunts have gone. My prayers are with you all. Dana Kennedy Hartney
