Wanda & Family,
My thoughts & prayers are with you in this time. I got to know Sylvan over the last 10-15 years at Berry Hill, what a true gentleman & professional he was. I will miss our conversations & bantering back & forth.

Dear family. I am so sorry to hear of Syl's passing. He and my husband, Pat Barry, played a lot of golf together over the years. He was a great help to me when Pat passed away...such a wonderful, caring man. My prayers go out to you at this difficult time. Your memories and time will help to heal the pain

Dear Wanda, Rick, Tracy, Wendy and Verns brothers and sisters:
I'm sorry that I am unable to come back to St. Louis at this time, but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Vern was quite a "mentor" to Dave, and I have many, many fond memories, esp of those in the 60's & 70's, of the times Dave spent with Vern, and the help and advice Vern gave to him. Vern was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed but remembered with great love by so many.
May you all find peace through God's Blessings. I love you all!

"WANDA AND FAMILY, My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sadness. Syl was a big part of my life and will be missed greatly. All the years we worked together, the hours spent talking about golf, teaching me, playing together,the laughs,stories of all the trips he took with his family, helping me with my genealogy I could go on and on. He was truly a gentleman, well respected, a wonderful, close friend that will be a hugh void in my life. Memories we will share forever. I am so truly sorry for your loss."

Wanda and Family, Please accept my thoughts and prayers for you during this trying time. Syl was the best at what he did and I always admired him for getting his golf pro status later in life. If it had not been for Syl, I never would be on the golf course as much as I am now and having so much fun with it and I thank him for that.

We're going to miss you, Brother. Will always remember and cherish the good times we had together growing up. Remember when you and I fell off of the chicken house together? and the time you burned your feet on hot coals in the yard, you screamed in pain and Dad thought I had hit you with a hoe I had in my hand? and, oh yeah, remember when we climbed to the top of the huge oak tree in the front yard and it would scare our parents to death? Then we had a lot of good times growing up in the projects after we moved to St. Louis from Salem.
Wnada, Rick, Tracy, Wendy, I know you all are going to miss him tremendously; he achieved many wonderful things in his life and I know you all are very proud of him too.
I know there is a void in your hearts, but God will help fill that void as time goes on. You'll be in our thoughts and prayers.
Goodbye, Mern.
Your Brother, Lovell ( Bruae)
