Dear Pat, You were truly an amazing man and such a gentleman, and when all those neurotic customers gave you a hard time you just smiled and did whatever you had to , to please them, always at your expense! and all those Monday morning mornings when the men didn't show up for work, you always kept your cool like a guardian angel and stood behind your men like a great general stands behind his men. I am sorry I can't be there, my prayers are with you even though a man like you probably does not need them because you don't pray for a Saint, you pray to them! Joe Levitzki, Jr.
