My deepest sympathy goes out to Lynn and Michael during this most difficult time. Wahoo and I have been friends since High School, and were able to rekindle that friendship in the last couple of years, thanks to another Dunedin High Alumni. I am so glad we had the chance to take a ride down memory lane on our last few outings together. I know we all enjoyed reminiscing about the antics of our high school years. Wahoo, you will be greatly missed my friend. RIP and Prayers to the entire family.
