Dear Kaila, Charlie, and Family,
I am sorry for the loss of Papou. He really was a special person. My first memories of him were when Kaila started having playdates at my house in fourth grade. Papou was almost always the one to pick her up and wanted to hear all about what she did. As adults, every time Kaila and I would go out. We would have to email Papou all the pictures that I took so that she could tell him all about what we did and show him the pictures the next day. He always wanted to know how I was doing, how camp was, or how work was. Papou will definitely be missed.
Kaila’s “Old Pal” Samantha

Charlie, John, Dan, David, George and family. I am so very sorry to read of your dad’s passing. Having been neighbors for many years he always had a smile and wave when passing my house. He and my dad and brother shared a love of aviation and your dad often asked where my dad went on his latest flying adventure. May his memories always warm your heart. Fondly, Glenda Ekstrom Sullivan
