Emily Chester wrote a sympathy message

“Condolences to the family during this hard time. I dont remember much. But from the stories I heard through out my childhood he was a special person. Especially to someone who really treasures thier memories they have with him and eva. Rest in peace. I remember eating the grapefruit at the kitchen table with a little sugar sprinkled on it and using a tiny little spoon. Being told the sugar makes it not so sour.”
