I have a life full of memories from the time I was in my pre-teens and we lived on the hill behind the services station, to the store on the Foch and Main, and they are endless. His smile and good ole cowboy attitude was a sure turn the day around into a grand day. I will miss him as will the world. My deepest sympathy and hugs to you all. Susan (Baird) Brandt
