Jan and I send our deepest sympathies Thea to you and your family. We will miss him immensely. I had many pleasant talks with him at the Legion on Saturdays. He was such an easy guy to talk to, and we could talk so much about so many things. In fact, it was just last week that we were doing so much reminiscing about our Lady of Lourdes School.
