Our sincerest sympathies at the loss of your father. Herb has fond memories of staying with you during the summers. I came into the family in 1966, and have many memories of Bill and Shirley coming to the farm and visiting with John and Neoma. Now all four of them can visit for eternity without interruption.
Again, our deepest sympathies.
