Mr. "B", What can I say about a man who has touched so many. Since 1967 you have been apart of my life. From shoveling snow, bagging dog food and sweeping floors & the best part, eating pretzel sticks with John at the dog shop on are snow days. To having a beer with you in Key West,Florida. (you were "just" passing by on your way to TEXAS for your Navy reunion)And you always gave me a big hug when I would come home to visit.
Well Mr. "B" you and Dad are back together again BBQ'ing. I'm sure Mr.Walker was there to great you with a can of beer.Mrs."B" been waitng and of course Billy will let you ride his bike, hopefully you won't fall off this time.
You have left us with a great gift that will last forever, YOUR LOVE!
Fair Winds and Following Seas Mr.B!
