William and Jackie, we are so sorry for the loss of your brother Rankin. He was
such a good person. Jake really enjoyed hanging out with you and Rankin when he
visited. I hope you will find comfort in all the fond memories you have shared
together. May God be with you now and in the coming days and help you through.
Know we are here if there is anything you need.

I was shocked to learn that Rankin passed. I have known him since we were small
children. I remember once drivng together from our respective bases in Hampton
and VA beach back to harrsionburg for the weekend. I pray for the family and
for him. William, Andrea and Kay, I am so sorry for your loss. If there is
anything I can do, contact me at my email address which should be connected to
this post. godspeed Rankin, and thanks for your service to this country.

A strange thing happened today. I'm sitting here in front of my computer screen-
trying to focus on schoolwork- and a thought came into my head "I NEED TO
GET A HOLD OF WOOLFMAN!!!" He was my room-mate in the Air Force and my best
friend (+ Kruegar too) & they taught me how to ride a bike. He would be happy to
know that I bought my first bike a month ago (that only took 21 years). It's not
a Yammy, but it is a Ninja & that might be acceptable. I haven't spoken to Woolf
(Rankin) in over 15 years but I'll always love him. He helped teach me what it
meant to be a man. He adopted this California boy (now a Washington state man)
into his world and I didn't feel so alone on that side of the water. William and
Andrea, You know me as JD & I felt I needed to get a hold of you all (I'm
actually kind of shocked by this) and you have my deepest sympathy. I miss you
all and love you all. Your my 'other' famil & I don't really know ho...

My prayers go out to everyone in the Woolf family at this difficult time.
Rankin and I went to school together way back to Pleasant Valley days when we
rode the bus together. I hadn't kept up with Rankin and I'm saddened to hear of
his premature departure from this earth. You have my deepest sympathy.
