One of Dad's first cars. Notice the kid playing with the Bow and Arrow, and the Burgess house!
Even at 86 at the flea market (a place he liked to shop at) in December he tried dip n dots for the very first time. We sure enjoyed the character and love you shared with all of us. How you cared about Godly aspects of life and those around him. We'll miss your smiles and stories!
