Dave...

I'm sorry, bro. Call me anytime. 269-832-5237. You've always been what your father raised you to be. I will never ever forget the rides 'French' had...who procured those awesome cars?
Robert C. French. That's who...

Take care Dave and celebrate the good in your pop's life!

Patty and David - my thoughts are with you both. I have a great memory of your dad figuring out what was making so much noise on the new car I had just bought my senior year in high school. No one else had a clue and he solved the mystery immediately. All that tinkering he did in the basement garage served me well more than once!
