Don, girls, and families, we are so sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. My dad knew him well and spoke of him many times; Dad would be 97 if he were still living, so they go back many years. God bless and comfort you.

Daddy doesn’t use the internet much, but I will be sure to read all of these to him. Grandpa was a genuinely good man. We were all lucky to have him in our lives. His memory will live on forever. Thank you for all your comments. They are much appreciated.

To Don’s family,
We were close neighbors of Clarence and Della and we went to the Prairie Grove church with them. They were some of the best folks I ever knew.
I knew Marilyn, Howard, Harold, Carol, Glenda & Brenda who were close to my age. I remember seeing Kenny, Donnie, Debby and Vicky when they
were small.
Sending my sympathy to all of you.
