Terry, I saw your dad at the grocery store not long ago. He told me of his condition. We recounted some stories from growing up on the Lane and how proud he was of you and Bobby. I will always remember him with admiration and especially for the time he put into trying to coach a lackluster Little League team. I am sorry for your loss and hope that you will all find the strength to weather one more storm. Bill Reed
