Jim and Jeff...
Sorry for the late condolence, I just discovered your Mother passed away after searching the web. I last saw her at my Mother's funeral in December of 2002. She still looked great at 88. I never heard a cross word from here in the many times I was at you house. Hanging out with you guys, ice staking in your back yard and my Dad and yours as part of a golf foursome are just some of the many memories I cherish from knowing your family. You guys were a big part of my life growing up in Glenview. It is sad news, but she lived a long and wonderful life!

Dear Jeff & Jim:

I send my sympathies to you both and have fond memories of Burhops Fish as I am the daughter of
Ralph Herud who worked for your dad over 40 years
and also shared in the summers at the cottage on Lake Meta in Eagle River. Most recently I stopped at the store in Glenview with Ingjerd Johanneson from Norway who was the youngest bookkeeper for them. She has so many great memories of her years at Burhop when living here in the USA. We are always in communication and
she also sends her condolences. I hope you will let me know of the time of the memorial
service.

Sincerely, Judy (Herud) Nelson, Lindenhurst, IL
