Gail and family: Randy and I were so sorry to see your Dad’s death in the paper. I always thought he was such a nice man. I will always remember the times you and your Mom and Dad came to visit with us when we vacationed in Ocean City, Md. Both your Dad and mine enjoyed fishing so much. Capri road and Fairway drive just won’t be the same without your parents and mine. Please accept our deepest sympathy. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Randy and Sandy Brubaker
Dear Sheila and family: I was so sorry to read of your father’s passing. He was such a nice man and the memories our family has of Columbia Avenue will always include the wonderful times with you and both your parents. It was a wonderful opportunity to see you both again during his stay at Luther Acres. It seemed so easy to pick up where we left off 50 years ago. I know this is an especially busy time for you now, but if you ever have a few minutes when you are back in Lancaster, I’d love to see you again. Our phone number is 871-1250.
Sincerely, Marvis Hambleton
