What a wonderful and fruitful long life. I read the book The Sundance Kids several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am in the process of writing my life story but it won’t compare to this “novel”!.
I will keep you, Virginia, and other family members in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Faye
Hello Steve,
Please accept our condolences on the death of your father. Although we didn’t know him, he must have been an example of how life should be lived and a mentor and inspiration to you and your family. As a side note, I read with interest that your father spent some time on a farm near Kirkland in 1939. In January, 1939, I immigrated from Czechoslovakia with my parents and we took up residence on a farm near Kirkland on what is now part of the Microsoft campus (Rte 1, Box 308)! We lived there during the war years. My Dad raised chickens and sheep, later building a very successful food distribution business in Seattle, which is now run by my brother’s family. With our sincere sympathy,
Peter and Mary Lou Block
Dear Virginia and Kathleen and family,
We were sad to learn of the passing of your husband and father and apologize for not responding earlier. Although I only knew him from reading his book on the Sundance Kids I was amazed at the inspiring life he lived. If we can help in any way, please ask.
