3 Aug 2020With sympathy to John’s family.
My memories of your parents come from 1959 to 1961 when my family lived in Hardin. (After we moved, we still continued our friendships and attended the all-class Hardin Reunions.) John was in my sister Barb’s class. My perspectives of your parents comes from me being an underclassman. I remember your mother as being beautiful, blonde and sweet. Your father as being funny and nice. Your grandfather baptized Barb and me @ 1959 at the Hardin Christian Church.
God’s blessings,
