We are so sorry to learn of your Dad's death. He was an inspiration because of his smile, his friendliness and his enthusiasm. He will be sorely missed. You all must know how fortunate you are to have had such a positive role model and such a caring, involved father. Many family members never experience that kind of love. Our best to your family and please know that our thoughts are with you as is our deepest sympathy. Sincerely, Bob & Lori Reed

We want you to know that we share your sorrow in the death of your father, grandfather and our friend Jay. We are sorry we cannot attend the Memorial Service for Jay tomorrow as I am entering the hospital for surgery at the same time, but we will be with you in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely, in faith,

Family - Your Dad/Grandpa was a great guy. I enjoyed listening to his stories and growing up next to he and Ev. I miss them both so much. The other day I was over to 'their' house and dug up some of Ev's flowers to plant at my house. Mike and I were talking about how much fun we would have stopping by and chatting with them and having a cocktail. I am happy that they are together again. That was a couple that when they looked at each other you could see the love they shared. Both are missed by everyone on South Shore Drive.
