Miles... my sincere sympathies to you and your families as you mourn and then celebrate the life of your dad. He lived a full life. I still remember your parent's hospitality in their home to a group of college kids headed out to Big Sky on spring break in the early 80's. Take care my friend.

God's peace and blessings to the whole family. Les and Phyllis were amazing people - such a hospitable and welcoming family. A home filled with warmth, and food, and games. I am thankful for the friendship and memories growing up. I enjoyed visiting Les at the Bethel Nursing Home while our Mother Jessie was a resident there. He had that "twinkle in his eye" quality and a mighty firm handshake and would ask me to be sure and come again.
