Message: My condolences to your family in the loss of your father. I was able to visit with your parents at the nursing home when I also saw the McDowells and now the Gulers. Your dad was so faithful and attending. I now realized his passing apparently occurred surrounding your time at Tubby's. Loved the picture! What a nice man to have as a father.

Message: To the family of Fred Cudworth. We were very sorry to hear that Freddie passed away. He was the last of the Cudworth boys. He was always such a joyful person as I remember. I think he was always fond of his sister Jessie; as I was too. She was such a lovely person. I stayed with her to finish high school and we had so much fun and it was such a great experience. We wish you all the best .
