Dear family,
We send our condolences for Great Uncle Jr. He was always a bright spot in our family memories! We have fond memories of him helping his sister, Golda (our grandmother) so very much, and visiting us in FL as I grew up. He walked in the room with a big smile and big heart open. We are sad to hear the news and know that God has a special place in heaven for him already. He'll be smiling down on his loving family whom he always spoke so proudly of always.
Even though we are thousands of miles away, we send our best wishes and blessings to all the family gathered in rememberence of Great Uncle Jr.  May God grant you the peace to live and love, and in your hearts carry the memories of your loved one.

With deepest respect,
Julie Dutton Hyman and her family, Jeff my husband, Christopher and Jennifer
Lisa Dutton Muckinhaupt and her family, Jason husband, Wyatt and Audrey
