    Charlie, Mary Beth, Bill and family
    Please accept our sincere sympathy. I have many fond memories of both Dick and Clara from growing up down the road on the farm. Dick was a quiet man who was always interested in what the kids were doing when I would visit in town. Our parents were good friends and it is difficult to see them pass on. Take Care Anne Marie, Steve, Luanne and Mitchell McGregor
