To the whole Eisenback family,
please accept my condolences. Lefty was such a good person and the fond memories of him are way too many to even begin to mention. He is, I think, the last of what I call the "The good guys of Jtown club", and what a group it was. He did it the right way.
R.I.P Lefty.
