I dont know exactley when i met Rt and the rest of the "OLD MAN CLUB" at McDonalds at Trinity point. I went in before work every mornkng, and after a few times , he said why are you sitting alone, well because i am alone... so i satwith the OLD MAN CLUB, as i called it. I enjoyed the many stories that were told. He always talked about how he made sure he had breakfast ready for Pat before she went to work. He loved her. And how he talked anout his cat. I will always remember my old guys at McDonald´s! Praying for the family
