It has been many years since I have seen you or your dad. Years ago you folks serviced my vehicles for me. I never have forgotten how honest and fair both of you were whenever you did service for me.

I am very sorry for your lose. I know that this is a hard time for the family but it is always good to know when one goes on to their eternal reward. Take care.
