    Cheryl you have my deepest sympathy at this most difficult time in your life. Your father was a well loved and highly respected man. My first job I will never forget was working on the Huscroft farm picking tomatoes mostly. I lived in Toronto, OH, would catch the bus and ride it to the fruit stand that your family had in Costonia, and would wait on either your dad or pappy to pick us up in the truck and take us to the farm. Had some good times there. As a matter of fact my brother, sister and cousins all worked there, Your dad will be missed.

    I will never forget the time spent working with George on the farm and at the produce stand. He taught me a lot about what it means to be a man, and how to deal with other people. He and Uncle George, and Uncle Harry served as great role models after my Father died. I will miss you terribly cuz ! Cousin Rob
