We moved into the neighborhood in 1966 and at that time met Amand and Madeline, they were both great people and wonderful neighbors.
Thinking of you at this time, hope you will have some comfort in that you had your father for so many good years. Remember both of your parents from Cleveland days. Sincerely Carolyn Burke
I will always treasure the many wonderful times that we had together. He was my friend for over 50 years and he will be greatly missed. We offer our condolances to the family – we are so sorry for your loss. I will live with the memories of many great square dances, camping and fishing trips, meals and just general good fun. Till we meet again- farewell my friend.
Dear John and family:
What a long and wonderful life your dad had. Know that we are still enjoying his RV! May you and yours enjoy all the great memories you must have. Fondly, Barb and Dick Williams
John and Peg, on behalf of the SPAA and Staff at the Range, We extend our condolences to you on your loss. We will be making a donation of $100 in your father’s name to the Medic One Foundation.
Amand and Madeline were my mother and fathers good friends. Their friendship has left many good memories. I will always remember our family camping trips with the Wallays. This is sadly the end of an era. My condolences to Marlene and John and your extended families.
John and Peggy and family,
It’s hard to believe we’ve known you and your family for almost 30 years. We’re really glad we got to know your Dad–even though he did get us all seasick out at Cape Flattery. Of course, he didn’t get sick! We’ll always have fond memories of him.
Chuck, Marilyn, Katie, and Chris
