We are so sorry for your loss. Aunt Clemm called and told us. But she said there would be no visitation or anything. The last we knew he was moving into the sandwich manor and doing fine. If we can do anything just let us know. We are out of state right now sorry we could not come.

To Ron, Ken and Family - Sorry for your loss and our sympathy. Your Dad was a great guy and always so involved in things around Plano. He remember him around the High School during football practice helping out - and of course there were the family functions. He always had a smile and the picture you have really is a good one! `I know you have great memories of your Dad - you can't ask for much more.
