John and I were classmates at Lutheran High School in Houston and we enlisted in the U. S. Navy together. A lifelong, treasured friend. My condolences to Susan, the treasure he found in Leslie.
So sorry Susan. I will always remember how much he loved his little yorkies. We were just talking about him last week. Condolences & prayers for you.
