Stanger) had the pleasure of visiting A. J. and Vera at The Gables last June. He was at his charming best that day, joking with the nurse, and wearing that great smile of his. He loved my Dad and my Dad loved him and Vera. Going to visit them was a highlight of any trip we all made to Idaho over the years. I will always remember that smile and the wonderful hugs of greeting we received in his home. I send you all deepest regrets from our part of the family and join you in celebrating his life.
