Condolences
Bill and Dan….
I am not sure if you will remember me, I was married to Bob Fender II back in the mid 1980’s – but just wanted to let you know that I saw in the NG where Jean had passed away. I remember her as being a very friendly woman, very enthusiastic about her bowling, her family and her life. I always admired her spirit and love of life. I am sure you will miss her – I know she was loved by many. Thinking of you and your family. Treasure the happy times. God Bless.
