On behalf of the Shattuck and Mooney families we would like to send our condolences to your family.

We will miss his jokingly way of speaking with people even those he had just met as he rode around in his golf cart. Our deepest sympathy go out to your family at this time and he will surely be missed in the neighborhood.
