Bill & Audrey,
We have missed your dad so many times over the years. I miss the days he would fill my gas tank as he spoke about the days problem or the always pleasent way he thanked you for comming in. John says he never knew anyone that took so much interest in how much stuff you had for the dump and he would adjust the price to be more reasonable so everyone left the recyleing dump feeling they were someone special. Granby has lost a very special person. God Bless your family Pat & John Bylenski
