Dear Carrie and Cheryl:
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. He was such a great guy. I often remember stoping by his shop just to shoot the breeze with him. He always called me “The Kid.” We sometimes would grab some bbq at the restaurant next door. It’s hard to think about Lakeview in the 70s and 80s without thinking about your parents, Cher-Carrie Out and Lakeview Auto.
May God give your family during this difficult time.

I'm sorry for your loss. I remember your dad fondly. I remember working for your mom and serving him dinner every night I worked. He always made me laugh. He will be missed.

Thinking of you all and so sorry to hear of your loss....
"Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear."
