I am a friend and old time Lyons resident who had your husband service many of our heating and air-cond. problems for many years. My late husband Joe and Mr. Deloezal used to sit and visit whenever he came to do any repair work for us. We lived in the big ranch house on 45th Place across from Costello school. After my husband died I moved to Lemont, but my son Joseph has the house now and has had Starr heating do his repairing as well. In sympathy, Mrs. Josoeph J. Huss
