My very first job was pulling weeds on your sod farm for $1.00 an hour. It was good money back then for a 12 year old.
I too will miss your mumbling and sly grin. You were a hard working man with a loud voice and a big "big heart"! (You could'nt fool us!)
My heart goes out to Marge and your family.

I'll sure miss your mumbling arguments with Dad on how to fix things and that little side grin. You will always be with us in our hearts.
