Dorothy,
My time with Maury was priceless as we had pretty good conversation when he was up to it. I learned that he served on the same submarine as Jimmy Carter (tho not at the same time) was in Iran, knew Hyman Rickover, yet his greatest accomplishment was his wife and family. I enjoyed our time and wish I had known him years earlier. God be with you during this time of sorrow. Now he's pain free and seeing things we can only imagine, because he's in a far better place with God.
