Quimby-I just read where your father has passed. I know words can't take away the loss that you and your family feel so my deepest heartfelt condolences I will send. I used to talk with him when he came by to drop off mail or get mail , or if I saw him around town. He was the Epitome of the Southern Gentleman. When he left he always said "Happy Day". And he did brighten up the day. John Cavender
