If this is Abb that used to work for James Rice, I met him around 30yrs ago. He was really nice man that would talk horses with me and even saddled up that black stallion for me to ride. My sympathies go out to your family. Sometimes knowing your loved one touched other people's lives in a positive way is soothing to your heart.
