Billy. Sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I remember him from the days of Quarterback Club football in Hopewell when I was nine or ten years old. He and his older brother would always be at practice helping us learn how to play team football. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Russ Vergara Jr.
