My sympathy to the whole Crab family. It is because of Guy, I and my siblings are here. He introduced my dad, the late William Sloat, to my late mother, Joy White Sloat, and the rest, as they say, is history. Rest in peace, Guy, Give my mom and dad a hug and kiss for me. Thanks for what you meant to my entire family.
