Do not know you or you, me. When I read your obituary, I was struck by the longevity of your career at Ford, extensive service with the Sheriff's Dept. and long term membership in civic organizations geared toward helping others. The theme was service before self. Placing your family and the needs of the community first. The Lord of all creation embraces a good and generous man. Rest in peace.
