Condolences

Greetings to the Vejvoda family from an old Martin Park neighbor. I'm sorry to read of your father's passing! My family moved to Boulder in 1962. The Jones boys on the corner of Fordham Ct. I remember playing ball with Karl in the park. What a great spot to grow up! I attended the burial today dressed in grey and red hat and scarf. I didn't want to intrude, but did want to honor your father! I still live in Martin acres on 31st, and often saw your father while shopping at King Soopers! So my condolences to all! Ron Jones one of the twins!
