My sincere condolences to the Nelson family. My father Howard was a good friend of Jock and he was a pallbearer for my father. I purchased 2 or 3 cars from him back in the 60's. I also remember playing golf with Jock in the St. Walter's golf league.



Sincerely,

The Knickerbocker Family

Dear Byron and Karen,

I am so sorry about the loss of your dad. As a kid, I used to love going to "the lot" with my dad because your dad would let me drive the golf cart around. Then he would wink at me while he was teasing the heck out of Harry. What a pair!

I'm betting that he and your mom are on a fine golf coarse now.

Dear Karen and Byron:

I wanted to express my deepest sympathy on the passing of your father. I saw the obituary in the paper. I have fond memories of your parents when I was growing up in Chicago. Please know that you are in my prayers. You have my deepest sympathy.
