Sure hated to have you go.. We went thru a lot of both good and not so good times togather and I have now lost one of my very best friends, For a long time it was you and Dot, Lucy and Newt and Emma and I . .Now we are down to Lucy and I . We miss you all very much and hope to see all of you again when our time comes.
So sorry for your loss of such a great man, so many many great memories I have with Mr. and Mrs. Shively being with my parents Ed and Lois Beeson thru the Shrine. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Seeing your dad's name reminded me of the good times he and my dad (Frank McElroy) shared when they were employed at Ma Bell. What I remember of our times together, was the contagious, happy spirit your dad exhibited. God Bless Your Family!
