Mike and Greg,
So sorry to hear about your dad. He was a very thoughtful person and really loved you boys. I can remember all the good times and the fun we both had growing up together. We'd walk to the bus stop and walk home together everyday. He would always deliver our paper and then come to my house after dinner and watch tv, he was like part of our family. We always had alot of laughs. Just always remember the good times you had together with him because I sure will. He will be missed! My prayers and thoughts go out to both of you.

I love you all let me know if there is any thing Carl and I can do!

About a year ago I had the pleasure of meeting Raymond. I work in the medical field and he came to see my doctor for office visits. He was a kind man and always had a story. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and he will surely be missed by me. GOD wanted him home but it was sad to let him go. - Cheryl
