Joyce,
Dad and the family sends their deepest sympathy. I'll never forget the times of roaming the docks at RVYC and always stopping to check out that old Pacemaker. Good times and memories can never be taken away.

Mr. Slack (as I knew him back then) gave me my first set of golf clubs back in the mid-60's when we lived on Pearl Street. I was the only kid that had a 4-wood. He was always smilin' ..... and I bet he still is.

Joyce and family, Carole and I remember the good and fun times we all had at RVYC. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. May God Bless.
