As your namesake I have many heard stories as my brother Jimmy and my cousin Rich have stated. The single most important for me was that we are here to help others that cannot help themselves. We all try and uphold that traditon that began with you and continues today. All your grandchildren and great grandchildren will try and achieve the standard you had set.
