Sam, Margie, Chris, and Families,
So sad to hear of your Dad's/Granddad's passing. I always enjoyed chatting with him at the parts store, or at home, as well as working with him on the turkey trucks. Chris was truly one of a kind. I hope you take some comfort in his long and interesting life. My sincerest condolences.
