RIP "Inky"! My stepdad spent his mornings at Tom's IGA in Portland, riding their little Scooter's over to the store for coffee & a donut & sometimes dinner at one of the resteraunts near by. My Aunt Elaine (Hartwick) Gilmore & Uncle Larry Gilmore & many of their friends also knew Inky well. My condolences to all his family & prayers of comfort & peace!
