Digger, I will always remember what a good person and boss you were when I worked at the Meadows. You made if a fun place to work yet we knew we had to toe the line.
You lived a long and good life. You loved your family unconditionally.
My deepest sympathy to you wife, children and grandchildren, great grandchildren &/great-great grandchild. Rest In Peace but don´t forget to look up your old friends and have a party in Heaven.
