Darla,
You have my deep sympathy on the passing of Marlin. You spoke of him often when we worked together at Penney's. I remember you as a sweetheart when you held down the fort at the switchboard. My wife Wendy also worked at Penney's at that time and also remembers what a sweet person you were. I don't miss Penney's but I do miss the people.
My apologies for not coming to the visitation. I just saw the obituary on line today. God bless you and you family,
If you would like to email me I would love to hear from you.

I had the unenviable task of trying to guard Huck in every basketball practice for one year at Ken Hi. He could score on me anytime he wanted. His smile lit up the room and despite all my black and blue marks, he was a great guy. Everyone throughout the school knew and liked Huck. I'm sure he will be missed by the community. He was also a favorite of Miss Bruno, Choir Director of the school.
