I am very sorry for your loss. Mr. Cody was a fine man. I was just mentioning to my friend today over breakfast that my dad was a painter for Dave Cody. I can't believe in that timing. I will always remember a party we went to as kids at my dad's bosses house. I was 6 I think it was given by Mr. Cody. I beleive there was a swimming pool. My dad was Bill King. Take Care
