I was very saddened to hear that Mr. McGlamery passed away. We always said how lucky we were to have your family as next door neighbors. I remember his friendly hello...and he always took time to talk to me as I was growing up. I think he may have been my best customer when I was a kid selling girl scout cookies or magazines! He was so kind. My deepest condolences to all of your family.
