He was a very very good man. Very smart, good husband and a great father. He took the time and downloaded every Jimmy Buffet song for me. That meant so much to me for someone to take the time to do it and do it correctly, which I still have to this day. I´m 86 years old and still can´t get over the deaths I´ve been around for that the people are so young. This family that I married into was so good to me. I think of you all often. I wish I could make it to the funeral, but for health reasons, I can´t. Thoughts and prayers to all of you.
Love and Prayers
