Aunt Joyce and Mark, sorry for your loss. Know that all of us Sours love you and will miss him a lot. I remember the day when we attended our first family get together after moving back from Whyoming. I was about 8 in 2nd grade and I heard Grandma laughing on the pourch. I came out and she was laughing so hard she was shaking andwill always remember the big smile on her face. I said what's going on Grandma and she could only point at the big oak tree in the front yard. ALL 8 OF HER BOYS WERE HANGING IN THE TREE AND ACTING LIKE MONKEY. I laughed so hard too. I never knew they were all so funny
