Uncle Krusty, we always had a great time together. You were the best boss I could have ever asked for. What you see is what you get (and then some). I will miss you and I will love you forever. Goodnight?

Duane and I keep saying over and over how glad we are that I was able to meet Tracy last fall and visit with him a couple of times. I, like others, was blessed by his gift of hospitality, welcoming and great cooking. Be at peace, Tracy, I can see that your family loves you deeply, and I was grateful to meet you.
