Scott & Mark: So sorry to learn that you’ve lost both your parents. They were very special people who made the world a better place. The last time I called your Dad, it was to help me get my Mom in the car after she had her first stroke. He was there in a matter of minutes to help! Laurie Johnston Grossmann
Scott and Mark, Sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. I can still hear his laughter at my one and only attempt at riding/driving a motorcycle. Would like to be there for his memorial service, but I am out of town this week. You will be in my thoughts.
