Kurt,it's taken me a bit to get my thoughts in order after getting Bill Golding's note of your Dad's death. As Ann said, our last get together at our house was as if we lived down the block. When we didn't get the Ho,Ho,Ho card this year we wondered if he might be sick. So many great memories with work, golf, gin rummy, etc., i'll never forget him. you had a great Dad, you were Blessed for so many years. Best wishes to you and your family, my sympathy goes without saying. Len Gabriel

Kurt, Mary and families, just want to send our sympathy and know how difficult it is to loose a parent. Len and I saw him about two years ago when he and Bill Golding drove up to Orlando for an over night visit with us. Len left for work and the three of us sat at the kitchen table talking about the past years in Park Ridge, then they got into their little sports car and drove back to Naples as if they were two young men. They were such a joy to see again and to see how your father still loved dancing and had joined a club. I always loved your parents and so sorry, but your father lived a full life I think. I will miss his Christmas card we got each year. He was a kind man and was a big part of our life when we lived in Park Ridge. He will be missed by many. May God comfort all of you through these difficult times. We did not know until today about your father. Ann Gabriel
