Hi:
John, I was sorry to read about the loss of Beth. She was a very special lady. Please tell Roxana and Lonnie hello for me. I think about you often but just have not found the time to come and visit with you.
When I went to work at Chesbro you and Beth were very good to me. I was a snot nose kid. You taught me a lot about music. They wasn't a time that I can remember that you did not know where to find the book for sheet music that we need to fill the orders. I guess that we are getting older. I can remember the tricks that we try to play on you. It was a great time in my life to be able to work with such a great man. You and your family our in my toughts and prayers.
Always a Friend

Dear John and Family,
We were saddened to hear of the passing of your dear wife Beth. She was such a great lady and we enjoyed her when she would come up to Chesbro's and visit after work. Sometimes she would pitch in and do the returns for the consignment department. We love you John and think often of you and the old Chesbro bunch. It was a good place to work and to be able to associate with the good people. As the years went by it did change. I retired in 2003. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Please know how much I learned from you and all your musical knowledge and experience. Love, Marjorie and Thayne Lords
