My father was Delbert J. Purkis, I know nothing about anyone on his side of the family but would like to. You probablly know my brother Dennis and my sister Denise. Im the baby of the family and now I have two babies and will be getting married soon. Before my dad died he had tried telling me about some of you in the pictures but there wasnt enough time, so anything at all would be helpfull as I dont even know where to begin. thankyou Angela Rene Purkis
Re: Obit: Purkis, Clyde A. (1902 - 1973)
My maiden name is Purkis and am related to all these people. I was looking up Frank Purkis for my father and saw this notice. Carol Mitte is the daughter of Clyde Purkis, Jr., and has a lot of the family history. You can contact her at mcmitte@tds.net. If that is not her current e-mail address, please contact me again and my father has her phone number. We could probably get the two of you in touch with each other. Cindy Tighe
Good luck, Cindy
