Many happy memories of times with Byron and Eulene when he worked at Anton Propane. Such a pleasant and happy man and such a happy laugh. I'm happy to have known him.

Byron it was a pleasure being your daughter-in-law. I hope you and Victor can find each other and do some hunting and fishing together. Rest in peace, you'll be missed and I love you.
