Jere:

I am so sorry to hear of Millard's passing. I am sorry we had lost cotact over the years; he was such a delightful childhood friend. From backyard neighbors, to his pitching baseball and my catching, he was always a joy to be with.

I read his obituary while vacationing in Florida, and I was totally depressed of his passing, but joyous for the many childhood yars of association.

You may not remember, but my wife Carol and I visited you many, many years ago on Calhoun Drive in Wilmington. We have since lived in 6 states, employed by General Electric. We are now retired and live in a lifetime care facility in Hendersonville, NC.

We pray God's blessings for you and all of your family during your time of grief.
