Pat: Attended grammar school and high school with Ed. We traveled to Dubuque for your wedding. I probably have not seen him since. We lost another old classmate this year, Butch McGuire. We all spent many happy hours together as youngsters. Nancy & I want to extend our profound sympathy.

Pat,
Yato had to be one of the strongest persons we have known. Despite everything, he never complained. He was truly a gentle giant and he'll be missed by his neighbors and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you move through this trying period.
