My condolences to the George W. Roush family. I've known Mr. Roush my entire life. He was on my paper route when I lived on Thornton St. During a very trying time in my life many years ago, he was there to take care of my legal problems and offer encouragement above and beyond the call of duty. Again, my deepest sympathy.
