So sorry for your loss at this time of year. He was a month older than me but does it seem that long ago we met overseas. Being related to you he must have been one of the good guys.
Tom and Bettie,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Tom’s brother. It is always a sad time when this happens and even more so at Christmas time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family. Love, Bill and Peggy Seneker
