January 25, 2018 at 5:12 pmI was a neighbor to Delphine Moylet Foos at Bellevue, OH. Am sure she was maybe an aunt to your Dad. They loved to play euchre & would “shoot the moon ” & “go up the river”…. Now we play euchre (very simple at first) but have learned to do all those extras & it gets pretty wild & funny at time. Good Memories of yesteryear. Sorry for your loss; may you have many treasured memories of good times in the yester-years… Jackie Boyer Wynbissinger; Ashford Ave. neighbor to the Foos Family on Arion St. Delphine use to call my sister Judy….Boyerbrat. And would tell her, if you’re not going to work; go home because Raydelle has work to do. It worked; Judy worked more at Foos’s than she did at home….and there was always candy to enjoy!
