Mr. Hainsworth was a customer of ours at Jerry's Tire Sales. He was always such a nice gentleman and we always enjoyed chatting with him. He was so proud of the new car "his girls" bought him, although he did like his old Camry (wasn't it?)! He liked to tell us about his family, and never really complained when I know he wasn't feeling well, although I didn't realize he was so very ill. I was so sad to read of his death, and we will truly miss his visits and stories. You have all been in our prayers.
