Dear Church family, I just was informed of your loss. I really truly liked Dr Church,as my family called him. He at a dinner, he told my high school age son to stop screwing around and get his PHD. I hope one day he does. He gave me a book about the logistics of supplies to Europe which was how we won the war in European. I read the whole book one night. You would have to be an engineer or mathematician to enjoy the book. He was one of the best clients I have ever had. I always admired him because was a very brilliant man. I enjoyed being in his presence. Best of luck to all of you. Howard, Sylvia and Brooke A. Reeve
