Remembering many trips to the mountains riding in the back of a "blue Chevrolet truck" with "Perky and Eloise", sitting at the kitchen table "tickling his arm" when he came in from the Barber Shop while Eloise cooked supper. Thanks for the love, wonderful memories and the wonderful times. Condolences to everyone on his passing.Nancy
