smile and sense of humor. He will be missed.

It’s with great sadness that we learned about RED’s passing. RED was a great and loyal friend for 60 + years.You could not ask for any better.Although separated by distance we were close and had the opportunity to have a great memorable [mostly history update] lunch gatherings at least yearly, with him and Peg ’til her passing. GOD BLESS RED ,his family and friends! Bob & Mary Schefter
