Dear Billy, Helen, Lynn and family, We are all so sorry to hear about your father and our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I have so many good memories of your father like being his secretary for many years and going to the Georgetown Races on Friday nights, growing up at the farm with my family and being with your family. They were the good old days and I will never forget him. He was a Pop Pop I never had and glad he share a lot of time with me and my family. Love and Sadly Miss, Terry, Michael, Nicola, and Angela Sartin
