Dear Lithia and Family,

I was saddened to hear about Hamp's death. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. Pat and I have many fond memories of times spent with you and your family when we were stationed together, and he asked me to convey his condolence as well. He and our son, Kevin, plan to attend the services at Arlington in October.
