My belated condolences to all of the family. As a kid , it was a treat to see him at the General Store and had some educational conversations with him. Even up to my audulthood, I made it a point to see him. He'll always be remembered as a quality man of many virtues. I'm grateful to have learned a thing-or-two from him.
