We were neighbors of Mr. Ceithaml for several years and were sorry to hear of his passing. He was a kind person, an animal lover and a gentleman. Our cats used to love to hide in his garage and he never got annoyed with us. One time our dogs got into a tiff and he apologized profusely but ours was just as much to blame as was Rusty. I used to hear him tell him that he was the "most beautiful dog in the whoie world." After my husband had a heart attack he was so kind to come over and offer us assistance when we felt so scared and alone. What a nice man! Rosemary and Tom Lesh
