    Mr. Volkswagen Bug,

    My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your Father. Both your parents were wonderful and kind to us in the Class of 1975 as we grew up in Glenwood and started to find our ways as young adults. I remember your Dad coming by each day on his postal route through town with that smile.

    You are in my thoughts and prayers, my friend.
