Dear Cheryl, Tonya and Mr. Boltz´s Whole Family - I was so saddened to read of Mr. Boltz´s passing; please accept my most heartfelt condolences. I remember your dad well and it was an honor to know him. Your childhood home´s lovely yard of colorful flowers and the picket fence that consistently looked freshly painted, were surely due to his gardening talents and happy dedication. Long after college - when I would see him outside during visits with my mom - I always enjoyed seeing your dad; he was so friendly and phenomenally kind. My dad also worked for Reynolds Metals, retiring in 1980 after 35 years in research and development - he passed in 2003 at age 83. I´m unsure whether our fathers knew each other at Reynolds, but I would like to think that they did. Please know that my family and I are thinking of you all and wishing you comfort. - With love and remembrance, Karen Jones Cheek (Henrico High School class of 1981); husband, Ken & son, Adam; Glen Allen, VA
