Guestbook
When I first went to work for Oldsmobile in 1973, Cleo took me under his wing and gave me valuable advice that served me for all my 33 years with General Motors. Cleo was the most kind and decent GM employee I ever met and he made a real difference in my life. My sincere condolences to his kids (some of whom I'm certain to have met during those early years).

The Swartz family has been part of my life as long as I can remember. The dogs, the home teaching, the springy diving board, Oldsmobile, my bishop. They are forever friends.

I extend my condolences to the family at the loss of your dad. He was a very fine man and a devoted follower of the Savior.
