To Cheryl, John and all of the family > I send my deepest condolences. I don’t have to tell you what a wonderful. loving and kind man he was. I only regret that we had so little time to truly know each other. I know he is at peace with our Heavenly Father and your mother. Love you all, Aunt Nancy
I sought him often for counsel and valued his wisdom.
I have thought often I would like to get back in touch only to find out today – I waited three months too late.
If I might offer a pleasant memory –
I had been invited to come work Ridgecrest the summer of ’74. I needed money to make the trip so I put my beloved Honda 150 up for sale. He bought it. I suspect more as a favor to me than anything else. BUT it always brought a smile to see him zip around Blue Mountain astride that bike in his ever-present suit and tie.
I SO deeply regret not getting back in touch with him.
BUT — we will meet again — maybe sooner than later as I am 71 now and 30 years out from a triple bypass.
GOD BLESS all his family and friends.
