Thoughts and prayers with you and your family
Dear Sally and Family,
Here we are sorry and very sad that our dear friend, Justin has left us. We will miss him and miss all the good times we shared these many years. He was always very agreeable when we made plans to do things together. I, Bob, remember him sitting with me at Avon Flea Market while you, Sally, and Eleanore went shopping. I remember him at the Men’s club at the “Y” and how much he enjoyed being a member. How about the times we went bowling, went to dinner, and the many New Year Eve parties we spent together. These are only a few of our good times. Justin was a special person who always found the good in anyone he met. It was never a problem to talk to complete strangers. How proud he was of you and his family.
Justin has left a deep mark on our lives and he will live on within us for the rest of our lives.
With our continued love to you. Ellie and Bob
