I saw your fathers’ obituary in the paper and thought I would express my sincere condolences. It’s been a long time and you might not remember me . As I recall you saved a cat named highway or turnpike. Anyway prayers to you and your family. Sincerely Charles Morawski
So sad that your dad passed. Wish I lived closer to you all to have attended the services and seen you .kids.. I will always remember your dad as a fun talker, with a gentle sense of humor. He knew how to tell stories. Oh, he was a hard worker, too! And he always looked so young for his age … something I was always envious about, especially as I grow older. Warm thoughts coming your way.
