  1. It was a blessing to be able to spend Saturday, (Christmas), and Sunday, and a week previous for five days with Dad in the hospital – just being there with him, helping him with whatever he needed. He helped us, loved us, and served us his whole life, truly couldn’t have asked for a better dad. I’m sorry he couldn’t stay here on earth longer, will really miss him, but am thankful for as long as he was given.

  2. To Greg and Family,
    We are so saddened to hear about your father. We enjoyed talking with him over the years, and we know he will be missed. He was a wonderful person.
    We wish you peace in dealing with your loss.
    Sincerely,
    Peggy, Jim, Larisa, and JJ
