Gary, Thank you for sharing your story of Dad's influence. It is so gratifying to know he touched your life in this way!
Dave, thank you for sharing the influence Dad had on your life!
Thanks you for your kind words about Dad!
Thank you so much. I remember meeting you, Roger. I think it was at the Beecher City class reunion. Thank you for the kind words about Dad!
Thank you Mark for your kind words
Thank you so much, Tena. I remember meeting you with my mom. Thank you for your kind words.
I'm so sorry to hear the news about your Dad passing. I first met him in 1972 when I stated substitute teaching at John's Hill Junior High and I learned that I had an additional connection to him since my Mom was a cousin to his wife. My mother was Daisy Hopper Durbin and I had met Violet previously at family reunions. In addition, Violet was a Home Economics teacher as was I. Keith and Vi were both great teachers and awesome people. I'm so sorry for your loss and sorry I missed the funeral. I didn't see the obituary until one of my cousins told me about him passing after the funeral was over. I enjoyed viewing the pictures you posted.Tena Matas
