    Dear deLaubell FAmily

    I note in the recent press your loss of a loved one. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

    The obituary mentioned his military service, and that the burial will be private. I am a vet, like your beloved, and a trumpeter. It would be my honor to sound taps at his interment, should you desire his military service to be remembered. Please contact me at 203-318-0120 if I may be of assistance.

    There is no cost or obligation whatever.

    Sincerely,

    G.B. Delmhorst
