Robert and James,I know you as Bobby and Jimmy. I lived on 27th Avenue and 71st Street next to the LeMay family. I remember how Jim played with Ken Kreiterman in the band in Sue LeMay's screen porch off the garage. I live near Madison with my husband and I have two children in their twenties. I saw your dad's birthday listed in the activity room at Grand Prairie where my dad, Marvin Batt, is staying in the Rudin wing. What a coincidence that two former neighbors would be in the same health care facility. Please accept my sympathies at the loss of your father. Sue Weber

Hi Bob,Sorry to hear about your Dad passing on. I remember you telling me he was struggling. It's tough to lose a parent. My Dad's birthday was Aug 30, 1912. I think about my parents every day and and as time passes on I appreciate more and more the time I was able to spend with them. Of course I kick myself for not doing more with them, but I think that's part of growing up--think we'll ever make it? But I always remember the good times and pray some day we'll all be reunited. Our Deepest Sympathy,Leo and Mary
