I truly am going to miss you Bill. I met you when you came in for work on your car. You were not just a customer. I thought of you and Kay as dear friends. It hurts knowing I won't be seeing you anymore, but I am hoping and praying that me you and Kay will get to visit with each other in heaven one day.

Gerry,
I am so sorry to hear of your fathers passing. I remember you often talking fondly of him and talking about his years at Ozark.
He will be in my prayers.
