During the years that I worked there from 1974 to 1982.
I was honered when Dirthy invited me to your 49 TH Birthday Party.
Sandy and I enjoyed along with playing cards at your.
I ran into you at the Covington library and you talked about Scott and his "new" hardware stores in Port Orchard.
GOD Bless you Patrick and may you be happy.

Scott,Shannon,Brittany & Bryce,

I know there is not much to say but we are so very sorry for your loss. Know that we are thinking of you all, and we pray that in time, your hurt will heal and the good memories will be there always.

Scott, I always felt you were my brother from another set of parents. I know that it has been a long time since we have seen each other, but I think of you many times. Time just gets away from us, but if you need anything, even just to talk, call me anytime.

Love you all,

Kevin, Genia & Lance Beckstrom
