Jim, we were saddened to hear of your loss. We are lifting you and your family up in our prayers!
Jim, Fred and I are so sorry for the loss of your dad. Your family is in our prayers.
Walter “Perk to me” and I both grew up off Birdneck Rd in the “old PA County” where I lived north of VB Blvd and he lived south of the Blvd. We were ‘good old country boys’ who loved to fish and be outside in nature. We went all through school together… most of it at Oceana School. I moved out to Los Angeles for 20 years and lost contact with everyone. I did see Walter about 19 years ago at Little Creek Base where we talked and he rented me a boat to go fishing in. Sorry for his passing. I have good memories of our youth together. Paul Kist
Prayers to all involved and sorry for such a great loss.
we so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you.
