Brian, Julie and Shari, I am so sorry for your loss of your dad. He was a fine man with a smile for everyone. He was a big part of my childhood and I will remember him fondly.

This kind man was totally part, huge part of our market experience! A fine man, fine business man.
I shall so miss him there by the door - middoor simply being Hugh with his smile tilt of his hat and nod of his head. Blessings to all of you
