Mr. Overfelt,

Thank you so much for the interest in posting an obituary for my father. My apologies
that it has taken a while to get this written for you (we had not done one at the time of
his death). Below is the text you can use and I am also attaching a photo that you are
free to use as you see fit.

Regards,
Steve
