Mike, Pat & Teddy -- Uncle Shrimp and Aunt Caroline were a big part of my growing up years, as they were good friends of my mom and dad. Mike--do you remember Woo-Woo? That's what you called my mom. Uncle Shrimp touched the lives of many boys through Little League, and he will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all. Sharon
