Donna and Shirley,
We want to send our sincere sympathy in the death of your father. What a great man he was--distinguished, loving, humorous, and so caring to your Mother after her illness. We met your parents and you at the Hawk pregame hot dog feasts at Jim and Marie's. They lived across the street from us and became dear friends, as well as surrogate grandparents to our three children.
I also took care of your Mom in the eye clinic at UIHC when her eye problems began. They were a loving, fun couple who brought much happiness into your lives and I know how much they are missed.
We will be out of town and unable to attend services for your Dad, but our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
Dick and Karen
