Gerry and family,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and the family. Penn was my uncle and I have memories of him as I was growing up. Though it has been years since I have seen him, I always think of his sparkling eyes and grin he always had. I use to go checking his traps with him when we were young and wrote to him while in Vietnam. Gerry I know you gave him many happy years and completed his life. In time all those good memories will be what you think of. At the news of his death, I like to think of him entering Heaven and having his parents, brothers, and baby girl all waiting for him at the gates. God bless you all, you are in our prayers.
Bill and Carol Souders
