Had some very good times my friend. Always enjoyed the banter back and forth. Former co-worker of mine and a vendor to my wife Denise at Bo-Mac. May God's peace be with you.

Kim, I know your celebrating the reunion with Gilbert, Sadie and Lou. I happy in one way but deeply saddened another. We shared many emotions together these last 54 years, some good and others we both wanted to forget. You were always the one constant I could depend on. You will be truly missed my dear friend. Until we meet again.
