I'm so sorry about your loss. Just heard about it, and I'm remembering our days at Turner Street B. C. with great fondness. Our families shared so much. Remember that God has promised that He will never leave you. Praying that you will continue to find comfort and strength in Him and the love of family and friends.

I'm sorry about the loss of Cutt. He was a good guy. My brother John and I (Jeff) spent a lot of time at the shop hanging out laughing and talking. He will be truly missed! R.I.P Cutt
