My thoughts are with you all. I will never forget the good times growing up and seeing you all again this past summer.
Cathy, when you asked if Howie knew this guy and he said " Never seen him before in my life" was so classic and brought a lot of memories back.
Bless you all in this difficult time.-Ross Gingrich
