We always loved family gatherings at Uncle Nick and Aunt Wilma’s. They were so good to us, and we will cherish those memories. Our prayers to Wilma and family during this difficult time. We will miss him. Love Kathleen ( Shroyer) Marshall and Bob Marshall
He was a real cool teacher. If you forgot your lunch money, he usually reached inside his wallet to help you out. He would, however; send a note home to your parents. Overall, he was a great teacher…
