Sorry to hear of your loss. My mother, Opal Crider was his mother’s sister. We spent lots of time together when we were young at the farm south of Fort Peck. Time and miles have kept us all apart. Last time I saw him was at his brother Gene’s Funeral. Again I am sorry to hear of his passing. Regards Virginia
