Karla, Kevin and Kim,
We were sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. Your Dad had a great personality and shared it with so many of us. It was always fun to visit with him and hear his stories and his laughter. Enjoy those memories you have of him. Please know we are thinking of you. Lawrence and Charlotte

Karla,Allen Crystals and families, We will all miss Joe. He and Penny were good friends and good neighbors. We visited them on our honeymoon 41 yrs ago and Bob knew them much longer before that. In the summer when Bob and I were at work, Rob would ride over and sit with joe and tell stories on the porch. He enjoyed their chats. There are too many stories to share, but they ate all good and your lose is shared by many. Bob, Vickie and Rob
