With out him,the F-22 program would not have been a success. A great person to be around and was one of my favorites. May our Lord give you strength, Jan.

Sweet Pea, I am so sorry you have to go through this. I will keep you and the kids close to my heart and in my prayers. I was thinking about what to write and I remembered the time a bunch of us descended on you two in East Texas....along with my dog, Snap. You called him "your Jerr-I". He had a devil of a time filling in all the holes that Snap managed to create in your flower beds...but he was determined. And I recall that he had an interesting way of decorating your tree with lawn care tools and power cords. He said "Yes ma'am" and "No ma'am" to all us girls the whole weekend. A true sweetheart!
