Dear Jean and family, I am sorry to hear of your dad's passing. After reading his obituary, it is evident he was a man of honor, and a sense of duty to serve others. Testimony of the honorable way he lived his life will be carried out in his children and grandchildren's lives. Love and hugs, Tally

Dear Mike, George, Ruth Ellen, Cindy, Jean, Joe, Joyce, and John and especially Belva,
It is the morning of Friday the 9th and I just recieved a call advising me of Jack's death. I am so very sorry. I wish I had known earlier so I could be there now. I have had the fortune of knowing many farm boys, farmers, soldiers, cops, and pilots during my life but I have never known anyone I respected more than Jack.
He and Belva raised a family to be absolutely proud of. They both deserve an Atta Boy!
WELL DONE!!
And, Belva, you are so special that I could not describe it in words on this card. I know that your wonderful family will be there for you now and forever. CARRY ON!
LOVE,
Bruce, Jan, Dann, Matt, and Brian Wheeler

Dear Jean and Family,
I know you much you loved your dad. When you spoke of him it was always with great pride, respect and love. I did not know him well but I remember a twinkle in his eyes when he looked at you and could tell he had a good sense of fun. It is never easy to lose a parent. As a son of the King, he is now in the palace!
Love,
Perk xox

My thoughts and prayers are with your dear family. You'd be surprised how often I remember Mr. Stout's demonstrations of maple syruping. He made it such a wonderful learning experience. May you and your family be comforted by God's eternal promises!

I can't see maple syrup without thinking of how Jack let us kids watch him cook that sap down, and best of all, drink a cupful of that yummy syrup.
May you hold each other close during this difficult time.
Prayers for all.

Although we didn't have the honor and certain pleasure of meeting Mr. Stout, we know that he was sure to have been an exceptionally fine man. We know this to be true because we know you, Joe. Our deepest sympathy is with you and your family and we look forward to getting together with you at some time in the not too distant future and celebrating the bright spirit that is your dad. Until then, love from all of us.
