Dearest Gajewski Family,
Please accept my condolences to you on the loss of your dad.
What a great guy! He and my dad.Herb Rahn,were friends and umpires together. When I was a kid, my dad often took me to games over at Winnemac Park. I remember your dad as always being so happy and easy going. He had a way of making you feel really special just by saying hello and asking you how things were going. He also did the best Cary Grant impression of "Judy,Judy,Judy." that I've ever heard in my life. Whenever somebody says that to me I always think of your dad.
I hope all the happy memories you have help ease the pain during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Judie Johnson

Dear Peggy and Peter,
Please accept our sincere sympathy on the passing of your father.
Franke was a dear friend of my dad (who passed away in 88) and my mom, who just turned 91.
My dad and Franke worked baseball and football together for many years.
Mom and Franke kept in touch with Christmas cards every year until 05 and she was just wondering about him the other day. She was extremely upset when I read her the bad news.
Our family is very sad for your loss of such a wonderful father.
Sincerely,
The Rahn Family
