Not sure what to say?

My grandfather Barney Davis worked with Russ long ago. When I was looking for photos and information about my grandfather not too long ago, Russ was quick to jump in and tell me old stories and sent along some photos of his cars. I am grateful that we had a chance to talk, and that he was such a good friend to my grandfather
