Jan & family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember the first time my dad Gene Cain took me to B.B.'s office, painted on the wall behind him was his version of "I shall walk through the valley of death but I shall fear no evil for I am the..." you know the rest. I knew then he was different from the average businessman and had a sense of humor and a zest for life. You and your family will be in my prayers.
