Dear Millie, Sure will miss Red dropping in for a visit and spilling his wine on me. He liked to do that and I got a great big kick out of it - even bought him a bigger glass. He was a good guy to all and will be missed by everybody he touched base with in the park, at the VFW or wherever. He will be remembered for the fun he created and joy he had doing it. Best wishes to you. I know you will miss him much more than we can ever say. Much love, Lois
