To the family of John Cable, I am so sorry for your loss. When he would deliver to our office, he was always in a hurry to get to his next stop. But not before he made sure he gave all of us here in the office a coin. What a great man!!

I´ll never forget Mr Cable. he always had a smile on his face and a story to tell when delivering sand for the volleyball court. he never failed to give my kids a dollar coin when they went out to watch him unload the sand. a great man from the greatest generation.
