Please accept my condolences to your entire family on the loss of Putt. I will always cherish the fond memories of our times together at the Lakewood Sportsmen's Club; and more recently our chats while shopping at Jubilee.

Dear Mrs. Putman, Shari, Barb, Tom & families, Our heart goes out to all of you. He was such a inspiration, and such a loving, caring husband, father & grandfather. I know we only spent special occasions with him, but he truly loved his family and friends. He was a man of great honor and always had a smile. Always wanting to do things for his family. Hold on to the the wonderful memories, I'm sure he would want it that way. Love Jim & Darla Oberdorf
