I remember going to their home after football games and have a few cocktails, or a few to many cocktails and enjoying laughter and good political conversations. I will never, never forward an email with all the forwards, he scolded me once for doing that and still to this day when I forward an email I think of him and that is almost everyday. I know he will be greatly missed by his family and friends. We all know he is in the Lord hands now. My deepest Sympathy, Lori
