Mary Ann, Tom, John, Pat, Annie, & Cathy, It was with great saddest that I read in today's' paper that your Dad had past away. You have have deepest condolences. Your husband and Dad was one of the nicest person that I have known in my lifetime. I have fond memories of him. As a child, I remember all the basketball games we had in your driveway sometimes leaving the garage door and siding a mess. Never once were we told to keep the noise down or clean things up when we left. Always a nice smile. Later in life, I would run into George & Mary Ann, whether it be in Keewatin, Hibbing or Duluth and always had he most wonderful conversions. My prayers and thoughts are with all you.
