My wonderful neighbor with a twinkle for a smile, you will be missed. Even though we have been here only three years, we felt we had known you for many more.
You always made us feel so welcome after we moved in to the neighborhood. A better neighbor and friend, we could have never found.
We only hope you have found more peace and comfort in God’s presence than you did before passing when you felt so “tired and worn out.”
The girls will leave the light on for you, and should you pay them a visit next door, please stop over and say hi to us, too.
Your friends always,
Mary and Ranny Green
Dear Laurie & Lynn,
I worked with your Dad for a couple of years at International Shipping in the mid 80’s. He was always kind and helpful. I also recall him being such a dapper dresser! Please accept my condolences on losing your Dad.
Sincerely, Kari Lunde
Dear Laurie and Lynn,
You are fondly in my childhood memories.
It has been many year since we have seen each other.
Hope you remember me!
I am getting old enough to read the obits now, and if my name isn’t in it I get dressed in the morning! my mom always said that
I have memories of visiting your home in Renton with my mom Aunt Gen Finnie on Christmas days gone by. There was laughter and a few drinks,and always much joy shared. I also recall your mom and dad giving me my first water ski lesson where we skied all the way back to the boat launch!
I offer all my condolences to your family, know you will miss him.
Love always,
Laurie and Rich Kincaid
