Tommy and Rory, I am so sorry for your loss. I am sorry i did not send my condolences earlier, but i had no idea your dad passed, until now. I will always remember him from our time on Early St. Your family was one of the first I met when we moved from California. My prayers are with you and your families even now.

We're so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a plasterer with my dad Bob Morris when they first came to America and were friends until my dad's death. May Ike rest in peace.

I have so many special memories we shared growing up. The plaster doll you took the time to make me and me letting it fall and not knowing how too tell you I broke it. Many things that may not mean anything at the time but fill a rich lifetime. I miss you already Ike and always will. Love you Tessie
