Dear Mr. Lang:

I noticed with deep regret the passing of your wonderful
father. He certainly was a pioneer in every sense of the word, and
what a suecessful and wonderful life he had.

_ f always remember his kindly nature when I used to walk
in old Convention Hall where I refereed the basketball games for
many years between high sehools and for the A.A.U. tournament.

I know with what pride you look back on a life such as
your Dad's. He was kindly, considerate, friendly, yet his whole
demeanor bespoke of success in every way. He was a man's man, and
I congratulate you on having such a splendid father.

When you and I look back en life and find that your
father and mine had so many years beyond the three score years and
Ven, then we are very sure that when the time came for them to be .
infirm or not as active as they were accustomed to being, then we
have tie philosophy, I am sure, that we would not want to see them |
suffer more.

‘This is just a note to let you know that I am thinking
of you and have thought of you many times, and want to express my
sympathy to you and your family.
