My condolences to Jerome and Mrs. Young in the passing of your father and husband. Mr. Young was the epitome of "cool". I remember working in the local grocery store (Be-Lo of Wythe) as a kid and he would pass through and always had a swag about him. Sharp dresser...It was as if he had theme music playing whenever he stepped into the building...LOL May the Lord comfort you and the entire Young camp during this season of mourning, God Bless.
