Junie will certainly be missed by many. I will miss his humor and smile at the "Gang" dinners when I visit PA.
Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear of the passing of your dad Penny. The world needs more farmers like Walter. He was truly a hard worker and will be missed. Very rare he wasen't outside doing something. Take care.
