Dear Bill,
Thank you for all that you did for me, I can't thank you enough. When I had that job at the downtown Pittsburgh YMCA back in 1972 & 73, It was very difficult at times "making ends meet" and with a wife and 2 children to feed that job you gave me at Eazor Express allowed me to pay the bills.
I will always remember the good time we had at the 1974 MLB All-Star game in Pittsburgh and the many times we sat in Debbie & Doug's back yard talking about our favorite teams, the Pirates, Steelers and Penguins.
May your rest in Peace with the Lord.
Sincerely,
Glenn
