Rich and Mia, You have my sincere sympathy in the passing of Hez. Fond memories go back to my earliest days at Bates. Dan Vanden Bosch, Fremont

Mr. "H" lived across the street from us for 15 years and he was a great neighbor and friend. I remember him as a devoted husband to his wife Lois. He always had a smile on his face and kind words. The world is a better place because of him and I feel honored to have had the opportunity to know him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and family. Elena and Steve Pozza

I so loved my uncle Clarence! So loving, such humor ....he was so fun! I,m praying for Autie Lois and my cousins, but I rejoice for my Uncle! Malo & Craig Engel

We have lived 3 doors down from Mr. "H" for 27 years! He was a wonderful man and neighbor. He used to do magic tricks for the kids in the neighborhood. He will be missed! Our thoughts and prayers go out to Lois and the family! Carl and Jan Stephens
