We are sadden by your loses. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family.
My family moved to Kathleen Way about ’57 and from that time the Huzey family has been a most important part of my life. Ann was my school mate and in younger years we enjoyed many times playing board games in the rec room, and croquet in the back yard. I always felt welcome in their house and we stayed together in our hearts for all these years as well as travels together with Ann and friends and to see John M. in Alaska. I will miss “Big John” and Helen, as loosing my parents. Please keep watch over us along with Red and Jean.
