I just received a phone call from Kay Morris and the viewing will be
tomorrow (Saturday) from 6 to 8 pm and Sunday from 12:30 to 2:00 pm at
Conner-Westbury Funeral Home in Griffin, GA. The service will follow in the
chapel at 2:00 pm with burial immediately thereafter at Oak Hill Cemetary.
Kay has asked me to express her gratitude to all the amateur operators that
have visited and called Dennis during this time. Your support has meant a
lot to her and the family.
73?....Fred, WW4LL
