Janis and I are so sorry to hear about A.B.'s passing. Although we haven't seen A.B. a lot over the years, we always thought of him as a very nice person and a very gentle man. We were so sorry to hear he wasn't doing well physically. We know he will be missed greatly and thought of constantly. Shirley, we are also thinking about you and your family during this difficult time.
