I remember fondly all the years spent on the ballfields with Mr. Minto, my dad and Roger learning how the game should be played and the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship. These were lessons well taught that have lasted a lifetime and beyond to our children and grandchildren. Rest well.

Joyce, I am thinking of you during this heartbreaking transition. Sending thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy.
