I know this is late but I didn´t realize that Mr.Himes has passed. I was a neighbor kid that knew him as a man that did woodworking in his garage.They were always a very kind family. I remember Mr Himes showing me his kitchen cabinets he built out of skids and and I was blown away. I asked him to help me build a cradle for my older sisters first born and he was happy to accommodate. I remember Mrs Himes setting time limits every night in the end we built a cradle that generations will use. I am very grateful for his family and how they reached out to our family. If you lived on our court you understand. Thank you George and Shirley. This is from Jeff Grieshop
