  1. sorry to see Him go.. He drove by my house almost every day and would stop and talk occasionally. RIP my friend.

  2. Becky, I’m so sorry for the loss of your husband. I graduated from AHS with him, and later I would bring copiers to your shop in Arlington for repair. Y’all did good work. Again, I am so sorry.

  3. I expected to see him playing horseshoes at the Irving post #2494. He fixed an antique clock for me 30 yrs ago. My own father had the same kind and it means the world to me. I am sorry his time has played out. My condolences to his wife, children, family, and his beloved friends.
    Lou-Lou
