Rick and Family,
So sad to hear of your dad's passing--he was a wonderful man and I enjoyed working with him at Bovay Engineers...always had a smile and loved to tease me as his secretary. Such a kind person who dearly loved his family. He will be remembered and thought of often. So proud to have known and worked with him.

Louise, Doug, and Rick,
Ken and I were saddened to hear about Bob's death.
He was a strong, caring man who was always devoted to his family. We enjoyed the few visits we had with him through the years and of course, listened to his grandmother's stories about his youth.
We know that all of you have wonderful memories.

Mr. Lane, I like the term "national hero". He was a family hero, too. You all know we'd be there if we could. Take care ...

Greg and family, I was sorry to hear of the death of your father. I did not know him personally, but in reading his obituary, I know that you all lost a loved family member, and those like me lost a national hero. I pray in this time of sorrow and mourning that you will find peace and comfort in each other and friends that care about each of you.
