Hickory was telling me about this, Victor I'm so sorry, biggest hugs to you and Lynne, he will be missed, but only an elite few will truly miss him the way you will. Condolences on the loss of a close and dear friend.
"Elite few" – um, I'm just this guy. Really. But I do miss him, as I do Mike Ford and many many others. Life is too short.
