So sorry to hear about Bucket. We were just wondering how he was doing as we were getting his Christmas card ready to be mailed. He was a special person and will be missed.

Bryan & Jana – Bucket made me feel welcome in the family on day 1. Your Mom too. I always enjoyed talking to your Dad. It was always such an easy conversation and I will miss him. Our sympathy.

You have my sympathy on your dad’s passing. I remember the day you introduced him to me in the parking lot when we were leaving the office for lunch, and he was picking you up for lunch. I thought it was so neat that you were doing that. I know you did it often.
