Not sure what to say?

My condolences to the Magnussen family. I have known your father for 24 years. He was such a great man, friend and father. I was just thinking of him the other day, happy that we made a connection and that he was my friend. We worked together at Sam's Club and our bond was instant. He introduced my best friend and I to the Buick Open. We had many great years there marshaling with him and Marv B. Love you Tom. Miss you.

My condolenses to Mag's family. I was sad to hear the news about my good ole friend today. What a wonderful man and we had some awesome times at the Buick Open.

Dear Slug,
During the 'day', all was right with the world because you cared about your agents, both personally and professionally. You always encouraged, but never lectured...asking little of us and all giving of yourself. Your life exemplified professionalism, dignity and grace. Your gifts will be a part of all of us. God's peace my good friend.
