My thoughts and prayers go out to Ann and the family. Losing my lifelong friend is a terrible loss.I will sorely miss our telephone conversations discussing politics and most of all our car conversations. May the Lord welcome you with open arms and have you cruising around heaven in a 1940 Ford Deluxe !!!
