Kay, Dave and Lou,
Your father was the first dentist I went to and he remained my dentist almost until his retirement. He was wonderful and so are my fillings! I remember all of you from the Presbyterian Church and always admired your family. You belong to a very special one. I'm so sorry for your loss. May your wonderful memories carry you through this time.
Sincerely,
Norma Schou Gier

Lou,

Condolences to and your families. Your dad was my first dentist and those fillings are still hanging in
there. Peace be with you and may
the many great memories help ease
the pain in the weeks and months to
come. I lost my parents in my late
50s and you were truly blessed to have had your dad into your 60s.

Sincerely,

John
