You taught me so much and helped me with some major decisions in my life. I know we grew apart over time, but I will always have great memories of our trip to Aunt Lil’s taking her stuff and that piano. Working for you at your shop, those were some great times. Drinking at the VFW in Hobart when I came home from basic at 18. I will miss you.
