I am very sorry for your loss. He was such a wonderful and fun loving person. I can remember when Roy and Mary would come to my parents home for a party and the guys playing cards, what seemed like the whole night, and I was their “go get me” person, which I will always hold dear! My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
sorry for your loss. He was a great man. rick
