Although we've never met , I was saddened by the loss of your beloved family member . Certainly , Psalms 90:10, speaks of his long life. He accomplished much, with family and a business. May your good memories give you comfort.

My father, Bill Withers of Withers Electric in Davidson, often talked of the pleasant dealing he had with Mr. Shapiro. My parents were fond of him and his wife.
