I found out a little too late to come see you one last time. You were always there for my grandfather Jim Rowley, you guys had a special bond that you don't find anymore in life or work anymore. I had the chance to work for you back in the 80's and you were nothing but fare, if I did something wrong you helped correct it and I learned from that in turn you learned from my grandfather and your dad in in the glazing business and made me a stronger person for that and I thank you for that, Rest in Peace Chris, we will glaze again and maybe this time it will be God's window!
