DEAR MRS. GASSER AND FAMILY, In building and managing the mall, your husband was often my right hand. He always took the time to meet with me and steer me in the right direction. Our community was honored to have known him. May God's grace be with you at this time.

To Ken's family: Wanted to send my prayers and sympathy from our family. We lived next door to Oscar and Shelda on Woodward Avenue when I was growing up ((and then in later years we were neighbors again when both families moved to the top of the hill.) I remember them, and Ken, fondly as great neighbors and good people. Michele
