Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • So sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. I had been in contact a couple of times over the years. I'll always remember him as a lot of fun, joking and good cheer. I'm so pleased that we'll always have my Dad's old 8mm movie films of the family. Sincerely, Merle - Posted by: Merle Litvinsky () on: Feb 07, 2015

  • So sorry to hear about your dad. I remember a lot of good times with him. Often if we were going out he was going with us even when you told him he couldn't come he would be in the car ready to go. - Posted by: Judy Dewar (Cunningham) (friend) on: Oct 17, 2014

  • I remember your Dad as a great person with a wonderful sense of humor except when we took that long ride to Grand Forks and back in an evening, just for the heck of it. We thought it was funny at the time but I have to agree with George's lecture that night. It was definitely a bad idea. - Posted by: Pearl and Bob Sudak (Old friends of Marilyn) on: Oct 12, 2014
