    Lots of memories having fun with you and Gail! It was love at first sight when you checked out the red car she bought. I enjoyed having the two of you here in Newcastle for my summer party, and the great breakfast at your favorite restaurant in Eastgate. You made a great ROMEO (retired old man eating out) for the Red Hat ladies, and you were a gracious host at the summer parties on the lawn at your house. My picture of you is as an angel looking down on us all as we grieve in your absence from us and Gail. We will go on, but you will not be forgotten in our prayers and thoughts.
