You don't know how shocked I was when Mother told me that your father had died. We were in Scotland or would have been there to express our sorrows. You had wonderful parents who were great neighbors for mine. Thanks for all the great years.

Murray was a very good friend and classmate at CSHS 1946/1949. It was very enjoyable during our senior year that he & his sister, Beverly came by and give me a ride. We managed to keep in touch even after I moved to another state. Our sympathy is with each of you at this time.

John was a very good neighbor. We will certainly miss our "over the fence" conversations! Our sincere condolences go out to his children.
