I know you don't know me but I sure did know Press as we called him. I would spend many hours down at Total Auto Mart on weekends, and that is where I met Press. We would have many conversations that would sometimes last and hour or more on just about any topic. However what I enjoyed the most were his stories about his time in the Navy during WWII. All the guys enjoyed his stories and good company, and he will be missed very much. Our deepest Sympathy to his family.
