Barry, you installed my first CB radio, showed me how to find the center of a room while suspended from a 12 foot ladder, and how to convert a pull chain light to a light on switch with a single piece of Romex. You and Gail made it out to Las Vegas for Barbs 50th and all our get togethers at Tampa Downs or here at the house. We will miss all that along with that infectious laugh. RIP my friend.
