Shelly, Scott and families.
I just want you all to know what a nice service yesterday was for your Dad. It was so well put together.
You both made his last months so special for him and also for his friends. I so enjoyed seeing everyone at the Lions Elimination Draw and also at the Tuesday lunches at the Legion.
Your Dad was like a brother to Johnny. He spent many times at Ross and Dorothy&&single&&s and of course they run the roads getting into lots of mischief together–both good and bad.
Cherish all those great memories. They will get you through the rough days ahead.
You both and your families are wonderful people to know. Your Mom and Dad certainly installed values in your upbringing.
Life throughs us some big curves but one deals with them and carries on.
I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated being involved in your Dads last few months.

Julia Coffey (Parkinson)
Scott, Shelley & Family
I am truly sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. He truly was a kind, generous man with a one of a kind smile. I will always remember the kind deed your dad did for my dad after my mom passed away. My dad was very particular about his lawn and flower beds and being my mom passed away in the fall there was a lot to be done. One Saturday morning(just before her funeral) your dad arrived with his truck and tools in hand, quietly took care of the yard work got back in his truck and left, not even taking a coffee that I had offered. That gesture will be something I will forever be grateful for.
Please know I am thinking of you and your family!
Sincerely; Julia Coffey
