Please accept my sincere sympathy for your loss. I am so sorry. Court was one of my favorite people and helped me thru some difficult times many years ago. My children (who are grown now) loved him too. He played kickball with them and assumed the role of the cowardly lion countless times. If there is anything I can do I surely will. Again, my deepest sympathy to all of you for your loss.
