Donna, Laura And family,
Thinking of you all with tears in my eyes! What a great man he was. You'll never believe how many times he was in a conversation at our house. Arlie thought the world of him as did I. I'm thinking that now they are up there rehashing old times at Barrett!
Love and hugs to you. He will never be forgotten.
Love, Sharon VanZee
