Condolences

    All, I offer sincere sympathy and condolences on your Fatherâ??s passing. For me, he was the very definition of a gentlemen and â??family manâ??. I canâ??t say I recall ever hearing an unkind word about another spoken by him. His humility, actions, and respect for others provided many positive examples of how best to live oneâ??s life. His door and table was always open to others and I'm personally a better person for having known him. He will surely make a great addition at our heavenly Fathers table. God bless him, and his Family. So sorry I could not be with you in person to share my thoughts. With sympathy and love to all, Sincerely, Dave Haynes

    Kathy, Blair and Family, Our deepest condolences on the loss of your Dad, Bud Gannon. As neighbors we enjoyed our families growing up in Overbrook, and participating in the many community events, particularly St. Norbert's School and Parish. Bud and Vera were gracious neighbors to our parents, Ray and Dolly Des Marais. Our lives were enriched by having the Gannon family participate also in fun filled neighborhood events. May Peace and Love be with all of you during this time of family loss. Barbara (Des Marais) Clark Richard Des Marais
