    Dear Flanagan Family. I am the daughter of Dan and Kay Evans. My dad worked with your dad at J&L. They loved your mom and dad. There were many good Jack Fanagan stories. I believe your mom and dad even hosted my dad's retirement party when he left J&L. You have my deepest sympathy in the passing of your mom and dad. I know you will have many memories to cherish.
