Rip uncle Richard. I will miss you terribly. All your random show ups to see me at work. Asking me to wrap up a sample of everything for you to go 😂. Even you offering to pay me .50 to wash your truck. Ayden send his love to you. I know your happy being back with aunt Rita.

I am sorry to hear of Mr. Stetler’s passing.  Having grown up on Fairview Avenue with Missie and Rick, I’ve known the Stetler’s for a long time.  In recent years, I would see Mr. Stetler when I visited my mom and he was taking his stroll throught the neighborhood.   We usually had a real good laugh or two.  Sorry to see him go. Fairiview Avenue will not be the same.   Deepenst condolences to the family.
