Sue, Your dad will be missed by many. I knew your dad through your cousin which is my minister at my Church, Rev Ronald Rook. It was always a pleasure being over to Gladys and Ronnies sitting outdoors and having you dad pull in the driveway for a visit. Your Father was always very kind to me and i do mean always and i will always remember him that way. God Bless you Sue. Sincerely Dan Richardson

My sympathy to you on the loss of your dad. My dad worked with your dad and I worked with your mom at the law office. We also lived just down the street from them in Ottumwa. They were great people and will be missed. Again my sympathy to your families.
Sincerely,
Lynn Pearson Soll

Sue, I am so sorry about your dad. I'm sorry that I won't be able to make it for the services. Do you have a preference as to which animal shelter? If not, I will donate in your dad's name here in Iowa City. Take care my friend, my heart is with you. De
