Cricket was one of the kindest, sweetest men I ever knew. I'm sorry I didn't know of his passing until a week later because my mother was dying at the time. Now I have Mom and Cricket watching over me. God bless your family.

Michael & Elaine, I am so sorry to hear about "Pops". Wish we could be there to give you a great big hug. I sure miss the look on "Pops" face when he would drive up in the motorhome, open the door and turn his TV on while everyone else would still be working on their Dish.
Love
