May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I remember your dad so well. My boys also graduated from Durrett. We lived in the same neighborhood, on the other side of Standiford Lane. He did the taxes for my husband's business and did mine for a time after my husband, Bob, passed away. He was a wonderful guy and a hard worker. Prayers for all the family.
