Dear Dora Mae, Melody and Justin, My heart goes out to you and your loss of a wonderful man you called, husband, father, and grandfather. It has been so many years since I last saw all of you, but I still remember his smile and laugh. I love the passion he had for life and remember one particular time when I was there for dinner and I went off on how terrible it was that my company wanted to bring the "union" in. I can still remember him smiling as I went on and then realized who I was talking to about union's. But being who he was he listened to me go on about why we didn't need it and he actually agreed with me. He was a good, caring, fair man who always made me feel welcomed when I came over. May he be at peace and my prayers to all of you as you heal from losing such a wonderful person. Love and Prayers Laurie and Rick
