I’m sorry Shari for your loss.

So sorry to just hear of the lost of your wonderful father. My parents so loved all the bridge events with  the bridge group as well as the Grand Canyon adventure and so many other memorial events over the many many years. All the Eldred's loved your dad (and mom) as they were the 'salt of the earth friends'. Hugs to all of you.

A good friend  always willing  to drive me if I did not know, how to get there. A dry sense of humor. , a great gin and tonic maker. He would call  and just say "it's 4 o'clock,. So  I knew get on the elevator and  have  a. Drink with my buddy. Good conversation, sometime turning  into intense conversations. I was so impressed when  Valentine day came  along  and he bought  1 rose to the love of his love of his life. That really impressed me. I really miss him.. fly in the sky and into the clouds, dear frieend

During a holiday visit to our family on the East Coast, I got to wake up to a “White Christmas” morning for the first and only time in my life with my cousins Mike, Jim, and Shari, and their parents Uncle Max and Aunt Carolyn, and their wonderful black lab. In 1982, Uncle Max and Aunt Carolyn took me up flying in their plane. They even turned the engine off and glided for a while! In 2008, Evelyn and I stayed with the Hopkins during the biennial Griffin family reunion. Uncle Max was surprised that he was still alive at 75! In 2018, at my sister Kathy’s funeral reception, he said to me, “I wonder who will be the next one to die.” I loved my Uncle Max, always there and always engaged.
