Rick & Sue, my condolences on the passing of your father, my Uncle Bill, who I always enjoyed. The wonderful times we shared as cousins at the Bos family gatherings are part of who we are.
You might not remember but my father, one of your two Uncle Bob’s on our side of the family, passed four years ago on December 16.
Cousin Bill Soeters
