[AT] George Willer funeral service

[Gene Dotson]

    Darrell;

    Thanks for posting your thoughts and Gary's comments. Was good to see 
you, Janet, Steve and Janel Sewell and Randy Wilcox, and especially Marilyn 
and the family at the Monday viewing. Was unable to attend the funeral due 
to prior obligations. Glad A.T.I.S. was well represented at the services.

    We will all miss him. REST IN PEACE, GEORGE.

    Gene
