You once had a laugh that was very contagious. When you laughed, we all laughed. When you had your accident 35 plus years ago your co-workers said your laughter would be greatly missed. But we can still hear it. Thank you for all the many, many memories. You will live on in our hearts forever. May God Bless You.
