I have wonderfull memories all the way back to my grand father's day and more recently the Lion's club.

Mr. Hostetter was a friend of my father's - Toots Stephan. I believe they were Lion Club associates and East Side Fort Worth cronies. My Dad always spoke highly of Mr. Hostetter and I can only imagine they are catching up.
His reputation was sterling and I'm sure you are feeling the loss in the core of your family. Peace and blessings at this difficult time.

Our family send condolences to the Hostetter family. Back in the 60's my father John Hooper worked for them in their garage & has many fond memories of what decent & caring people the Hostetter family were. How very sad.

Francis Anne, I am sorry to hear about the passing of your precious Dad, in spite of knowing that in reality it is truly a blessing for him as well as you. When we last spoke and discussed the current station in the lives of our parents, I was reminded of the fun times they shared through the years. Our daughter, Emily, sat with your parents at church over the years. They treated her as a granddaughter and she adored them. When I told her the news yesterday, she burst into tears. I speak for our entire family when I say you will be in our hearts and prayers. Sincerely, Leann Coleman (Daughter of Susie and LD Lewis)
