May god give you strength through this difficult time.
I remember meeting Rector when my husband first got a job at Browns Arlington Honda, 26 years ago. I thought he was the nicest man I had ever met. I always looked forward to the Holiday parties so that I could sit and talk to the both of you and listen to all the stories he liked to tell. He will be dearly missed!
Sincerely,
Ray Cross
