Snuff was a great True genuine person. I always enjoyed his company weather is was at breakfast or over is house working one of his tractors. Snuff always had a good story he would tell you. And I always looked forward to that. It's hard to believe you won't be there when I stop in now. But we all know your looking down on us.
