What a wonderful man. He came into the Post Office with a smile, shared parts of the things he loved in life, mailed his letters, belonged to the Gettysburg Region AACA (a car family member) and was joyous when seen with his wife, Roxey. I am so sad for your loss. Just accidently found this info now. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
