A few weeks ago, the Maras family lost its leader, Anthony A. “Spike” Maras.

He had over 92 years under his belt and up until the last few weeks he was still meeting life with a full head of steam, ready for any and all things life can bring you.

But the point of this letter is to thank the staff at Weeks’ Funeral Home and the staff at Living Curt for the use of their facility and the great job and care you gave to our family. Also, the crew at the Tahoma National Cemetery, what a first-class job you all did. Thank you. And to all of the friends who took the time to join us in celebrating his life and sending him on his way to meet his Lord who he loved so much. The great cards and sentiments and stories you told of your time spent with him were just the best.

One person I would like to thank is Fred Eaton, who stepped up and took care of so many things that have to be taken care of. You are a true family friend.

Again, thank you all for your prayers and good wishes.

The Maras family
