Dear Mike, Rob, and Dave,
Your dad and I started many mornings in the Grill Shop at the counter discussing the problems of the day. He enjoyed razing me about slow-pitch softball especially when Rt. 73 Drive-In played "the Auto men". Later we discussed legion baseball and he encouraged me so get glasses so I could get the calls right when I was umpiring at Bear Stadium. I would always look for him when I got there. May you find comfort in knowing that he lived a full life and shared his time and talents generously.
Proud to call him a friend,
Bob Trainer
