My father, Ted Burroughs (Don Burroughs' cousin) spent a lot of time together. I remember, as a young kid, going to the Trap House and meeting Warren (and others). I still own a smoker and camping gear that came from Sports Co! Many, many stories have been shared over the years. My heart goes out to the family who are going through this tough time. - Leanne Burroughs
