I’m sorry for the loss of your father/grandfather. I remember working with your mom, “Cap” at CDC and meeting Logan. I was at the house a few times and remember Zanteen. Neat parents!
I wondered if you could email me and let me know when your mom
Passed (and why) because I missed that. I’m so sorry.
Please accept my sincere condolences on the death of your father and grandfather, Max and I worked together when he was at Hartford Ins. Co and I was an attorney in Lincoln. Max was one of the really good guys.
I was saddened to hear Max had passed away. We knew each other from our volunteer work at Boys Town. He was a very nice guy and such a good conversationalist . It was always a good day when Max was there. Please accept my condolences.
