It is with great sadness that we just learned of "Boots " passing . Having been an employee I learned early on this was a great man with a geneious mind . As mentioned before he would not expect you to do something that he would not do himself. He was always willing to guide and advise you how to be your best . I will always remember how much I learned from him which contributed in part to my success . I will always be grateful for his friendship and caring .
Our deepest sympathies go to Lucy , Roxie , and their families .
May God be with you during your time of sorrow and forever more .

Sorry to hear about your great loss. Not many of us can say we have had a loved one who have lived such a long life. May the power of God be with you during this very difficult time. May Hosea 13:14 bring you comfort and give you strength.
