Jan,
I am so sorry to hear of JD's passing, he was like a second father to me. I have fond memories of my six years working for the two of you at Yankee Boy. You both taught me so much about hard work, but most of all to have a lot of fun and enjoy what you do. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I think of you often.
Love
