Steve, I voluntered and served on the Friends board for many years at KLRE/KUAR, and was priviledged to have gotten to know your dad there. He always had a smile and was a great help to me when I did "on air" stints during the fund raisers. Please know that I hold you in my heart, and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers...

Stuart and Steve: I was thinking of Eddie just last week as I drove from Little Rock to Benton down the old highway and passed the cemetery. I also came through Bryant and glanced over at the former library building, the little one next to Boswell's office where Ms. Ruth spent so much time. I have plenty of wonderful memories of time with Ruth and Eddie in their home and at library events. They were a delightful couple and are together once again. Please accept my sincerest condolences in the loss of your dear Dad. I'll be thinking of you in the days ahead. God bless.

Stuart and Steve,

I was saddened to hear of your father's passing. I wish that I could attend his services, but I will be out of town. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I have so many fond memories of your father and mother. Two special people who had an impact on my life and I am blessed that I had the chance to know them.

Stuart & Steve,
We're thinking of you at this time of sorrow. Many good memorials came back to us reading your father's obituary. The years of enjoyment living and growing up by you and your family will always be remembered.
God Bless.

I worked at KLRE in the old Metropolitan Tech. building starting in March of 1982 and retired from KUAR/KLRE in 2002. I worked closely with your Dad until he retired. He was a lover of radio and music and I learned a lot from him. My prayers are with you and all of his friends. God bless you both. - Avis
