  • Dear Judy, Leon, and the entire Val Werier family, please accept our sincerest condolences on the loss of your Dad, Father-in-law, Grandfather, from your physical lives. His writings brought us pleasure, awareness, and different perspectives on all the topics he discussed. We missed his regular contributions to the paper, and celebrated when he 'resurfaced' in print to share his views. His love and pride for all of you was obvious in some of his writings (one about Leon's work on the RRC solar car we still have). Through this sad time we pray you are able to remember the many things that made him so special, and this provides some solace. - Posted by: Harold & Dawn Vokey () on: Apr 23, 2014
