Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
To David, Judy and families, As our paths continue to cross, although much too infrequently, I was taken back by the news of the passing of your father. Even though at our age, it’s inevitable that these passings become an every day occurance. I remember fondly my visits as a young man to Quality Chevrolet when I would talk with Mr. Katzenmeir. I’m sure that he didn’t really remember me, but he certainly made me feel as though he did. He was a kind, courteous and very intelligent man. I have been priviledged over the years to associate with many of the fathers of my childhood friends. I remember yours well and will continue to now carry his memory in my heart. My condolences to you David, to your sister Judy and to all of your extended family.
Dear Judy and family, Bill and I wish to offer our condolences in the passing of your father. Trusting that you have some wonderful memories to cherish. In Christian love, Bill and Arlyn Smith
I enjoyed working with Katz for several years at quality. He was a great manager and a good friend. I’m sure that heaven has a place that needs managing, and Bob is the guy that can do it. Sincerly Dale Rohrback
Judy..I never drive by what was Quality Chevrolet that I don’t think of your Dad. I’m very sorry for your families loss as I know Bob was a major part of it. I’m so fortunate to have both my parents and I thank God everydy for the privilege. I realize I have not seen you since 1963-64? But think of you when I see Jan Green at Crestview where we both belong. I hope life is good to you and your immediate family. Please give your Mother my regards. John Osborne
