Stephen and Wendy Green
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. We look back fondly on when you lived here in Eureka, MO, and our social gatherings for playing cards and other activities, in BSA scouting, particularly at H Roe Bartel summer camp with our boys. Also, Jim and I each took one of our sons out to Philmont Scout ranch for an adventure and new experiences with Scouting. So very sorry for your loss.
Jim and Joann were good friends we all were going to the Moolah temple. We were both members of the Moolah Guides unit and enjoyed playing poker. Will always remember our friendship.
Joanne, I was very sorry to hear about the passing of your Husband
You are in our thoughts and we are praying for you and your family
Our deepest condolences to you
