Growing up on the river with our dads was GREAT !
I still talk about those experiences with friends and family.
W.T. lives on in thoughts and my heart.

I will miss my weekly phone calls to Smitty. Even during his illness he never lost his sense of humor. He could always keep you smiling and laughing. I am so glad that I got to see him one more time. I will cherish the fond memories and all the laughs I had with such a great neighbor and friend. He was an honorable and true friend in every sense of the word. I know that he will be missed by all.
