It sometimes feels like a lifetime ago working at Domino's. But, truly one of the best times of my life. Working with all the Bowmar men, was such a great experience. Everyone in the Bowmar family personified a kind, warm, loving family. How sad to know I won't run into Chuck around town. I thank God he gave us people like Chuck in our lives as a reminder of what a good person is.
