My wife and i while at the spring fling, got a call that my wife debi's Dad had a heart attack. well.. there was a recovery and he was doing well..so they sent him home for more recovery...then on friday afternoon while in his favorite Chair he layed his head back and died suddenly.
Alvin Netzer was his name and he was involved in the space program and partisipated in the apollo program to the begining of the shuttle program at Cape Canaveral. also was in the Air Force and served in the Korean War. Was a piolet and owned a airplane repair/suply company.
He was quite a man and it was his stength and perserverance that made him an awesome roll model.

Sorry to hear of the loss. It’s encouraging to read of the positive position in which you refer to him. May those thoughts and memories continue indefinitely.

Dear Chris and Debie, I always find it difficult at times like this to put into words just how I feel. In the short time that I have known you, it is obvious that his legacy did not die with him...it lives through you and Debie...and I am sure that he was justly proud. I'm sure his memory will continue to inspire you both. My sincere condolences. Joe

It was no problem at Spring Fling, connecting with such a wonderful couple as yourselves! We shared our feelings and reasons for choosing the perfect name for our sign businesses;
Vital Signs...although the characters in our lives are different, the reasons were the same; it's important to charish the NOW in our lives, be thankful for what we have, accept our fate, and to show the ones we love that we truely care.
Debi, your Dad will never leave you again, as now he is in your heart, forever...
Keep in touch, Cher.
