As I am retiring, I was sitting thinking about the person that helped me get my new business started in 1996 by giving me my first account with Petro Express. I am not sure if anyone will read this after so many years, but his memory lives on. That decision enabled me to work for myself all these years and to start and retire from a very profitable business. I was able to raise my daughter with many benefits in life that I would have not been able to provide for her working as a employee for any company. His confidence in me sure changed my family's life for the better. His memory lives on. Darla May
