Don Smith sent this email to most that attend the quarterly lunch:
“I received word today, December 24th, that Ed Ford’s visitation will be at Wheelans Funeral home, 7th Avenue and 30th street, Sunday 2 to 5 PM. Funeral will be at same place Monday December 29th at 10 AM. Obituary should be in the Moline Dispatch and Rock Island Argus this Friday. Our most profound sympathies are extended to Ed’s family and friends. Don”
It was in the Dispatch obituaries today.
Good turn out today. Lowell St. Clair, Terry Anderson, Larry and Don Smith, Jan Erickson, Jim VanStechelman, Joe Rossi, Dave Green, Frank Skafidas, and yes, a few “noobs” too. Say hello to Terry Daniels, Joe Schafer, and Don Zumdome. A few notables were absent. Steve Horst (working at Saskatoon – Great White North), Paul Rouse (back to work at McLaughlin), me (schedule conflict with mom) and a few others but bottom line, a good showing today. If any of you have thoughts to add please do so in a comment below the posting. Lowell had to cut out early but did get some photos.
How about some email addresses for Larry Smith (I know, I know), Joe Schaefer, Jim VanStechelman, and Terry Daniels. And I’m looking for a revised email address for Larry Harm and Frank Skafidas. Anyone got something?
Well anyway, have a great holiday. Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy new year to all. Next lunch is March 6th .
