A.B. was a most valuable member of our organization, having been one of our charter members. We will miss his wisdom and humor.

I am very sorry to hear of Mr. A.B.'s death. A few years ago I worked for the doctor's office that he and Ms. Helen used. I loved his smile and the jokes that he would tell every time he came in. He was very proud of his son and grandsons. He loved to brag.

I have received a Christmas card from him every year since 1996. Thank you Joyce for continuing to put me on your list.

I will always think of him fondly and wanted to share a few thoughts with you.

God Bless
