We called him "Weasel" in school, why he had that endearing name I haven't the foggiest! But he was one of the " good guys"! Wished I could have seen and visited with him in these latter days. Reading his obltuary, I was so pleased he had such a successful and fulfilling life! My husband Carl and I are so sorry for the family's loss!
