Donna, Bill, and Jason....So sorry for your loss. Cadillac was part of our family for a very long time here at Peterson's and we are saddened to the bone about losing him. I'm sure he's cutting up with his long lost buddies Max, Herman, Russ and many others....I bet Grandpa Cledis met him at the gates. Gone but never forgotten...10-4
