John I am sorry to hear about your dad. I am not going to be in town over the weekend, but wanted to let you know that I will never forget the fun I had with you and your dad years ago, going to the races in Mansfield on Friday nights. I ran into your dad several times in the last few year,mostly at the grocery store and always enjoyed talking to him. I will miss seeing him and just wanted to let you know Randi and I will be thinking of you and your family, Sincerely, Tom and
Randi Moore.
So sorry to hear about your loss. May your memories of the good times with your Dad last forever.
