Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
We were saddened to hear of Mr. Surtees’ death. As children, the Surtees’ often allowed us to play in what we called their adjoining property–the ‘vacant lot’– or to hold youthful carnivals there to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy charity. The Ungs’ and Menas’children remember well those wonderful times, and these fine neighbors. Please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss.
