Harry and Liz: It saddens me to
see that your dad has passed away. I know that his later years were tough
due to memory, but it was your dad and Junie that I always played golf
(and drank beer) with at Williamsburg Country Club. I always enjoyed his
stories, and he always had one of the sweetest golf swings. Bless you and
the boys. Tom Wilson

I am so sorry to hear of your
loss. My father, Ernie Shaffer was a close friend of your family.

To each of you God Bless you
and keep you in his hands...I will never forget your parents...Beau loved
them so..Sandra (Patteson) Gossage
