Kathy, Johnny. It is with deep sadness that I sit here reading of the passing of your Father. He was truly inspirational to me and I am glad I could call him my friend. I am reminded of an old Eskimo legend, "Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones shine down to let us know they are happy." God Bless y'all.
