My condolences to the family. I am from the island of Guam. Craig, his siblings and parents Peter and the late Lily Yarnell lived on Guam during the nineteen sixties to the nineteen seventies. They were my next door neighbors back then. I have lost contact with the Yarnell family and I wish to have the chance to connect with them again. One of the things I remember was that the family adopted two boys of asian descent and I recall the names as Danny and Frank. I understand the loss for the family and I have experienced the feeling as well. I hope this response is a blessing for the family and a chance to contact each other.
Regards,
Frank SN Perez
