  • Condolence to Marlene and family.I always enjoyed coming to work when swany was there he made the day enjoyable and bearable. And after the day was over we and another coworkers would go out and do some arm bending, I think you know what I mean. Swany always comes up in conversation when we talk about the old times at safeway with follow coworkers, those were the days. - Posted by: doug kerr (coworker and friend) on: Nov 26, 2015

  • Bob and I were best friends growing up on McPhailSst. We spent many happy and fun times together, racing stick boats in the flowing ditches, building and racing "go-carts" and later on cruising the streets in his 50 ford. We also spent time trying to "ditch" our sisters, Lynnette and Elaine, who were also good friends, but wanted to spend entirely too much time hanging around with us. Our friendships(s) continued on to our becoming young brides and grooms, when Bob and I and Lynnette and Elaine were in each others wedding parties. Regrettably, soon after our lives and careers took us to various parts of the country and world and we lost touch. We were very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Lorise, Lynnette and I extend our sincere condolences to Marlene, Elaine, and their families. May he rest in peace. - Posted by: Floyd Olson (Boyhood friend) on: Nov 15, 2015
