Stephen, We are very saddened to hear of your recent loss and would like to express our sincere condolences to you and your family. Weirton’s Cable company was (my husband) David’s first job out of college in 1971 and to this day, he considers it the best – all because of the management skills of your father. And I always loved running into your Dad at a local store for a gab and giggle session. He was always lighthearted and in the best of spirits. I’ll always envision that smiling face.
Joanne, Sorry to hear about Donald. When we were growing up he was always nice to me. I remember when he gave us his navy uniforms to use for Halloween. Talked with him a few times over the years. Our families have dwindled in size but I have a lot of good memories. That is partly due to you and your family. Hope all is good with you.
If there is anything that Roger or I can do please call. 903-693-8590

Richard and I will always remember our visits with you. Our frequent political debates, and our wonderful shared stories about family members. They helped us remember the “old days”. Rest in peace Cousin Don. We will miss you.
Steve, I am very sorry to hear of your Father’s passing…you are in my thoughts and prayers…
