I’m sorry that this is so late in coming. We were just informed yesterday of your father’s passing. I still wanted to send you a note say how wonderful your father was to me throughout the years and how perfectly he loved Nora through her struggles. Uncle Buzz, was always fun when he would come visit and always managed to give me a bad time. (Good Memories ) He may not have gone by Buzz in the later years but he will always be Uncle Buzz to me.
Take Care
Love Royal and Carla Stowe
