Alan's Obituary

Alan was a hard worker, a good hearted man who loved his family.  As a Mason, he volunteered to by driving burn victims to hospitals for treatment.

 

Thoughts about Lillian:  Very petite and to this day style conscious, loves people, wonderful cook and housekeeper, religious but not so religious it encroaches on other people, taught me how to use mascara, visited many times in youth with my parents, lived in the same house since she was first married.  I am sure others who know her have other thoughts to share and I encourage you to put them in the comment section.
