Just know that both families have my love and sympathy. Roger Williams.

There are very few people you meet in your life that helps you become a better person.
Mr. Daughtry did this for me.
I worked for him from 1983 to 87 in Alexandria Va., Waynesboro Va.
He challenged you to be better ever day.
His reputation of being hard nosed , difficult a general pain in the neck.
Was told by people who were not willing to 100% , 100% of the time.
There is not a day that goes by that I am not grateful to having worked for such a man .
One you could admire and truly respect.
I spoke to him on the phone his last day with McCrorys.
And I was glad I was able to tell him how much he had meant to me and would be ever grateful.
