I was shocked to learn that you passed , Remembering your smile and to love of laughter when ever we came together and it always seemed to me it was at another family members funeral. In fact the last time I saw you was at a funeral and here now hearing of your passing shocks me . I'm losing memories of family members and that is hard but your legacy will continue. You will be forever missed but never gone . Condolences to your wife and son as well as Glenda .
