    Hey Cousin Mickey. I just heard about your dad and I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember standing on a roof in Harrisburg with you one day, and your dad was there helping spread tar. I remember him explaining to me how it was a privilege to vote, not just a right or duty. That has stuck with me to this day. If you ever need anything, you or your family, you just holler at me. Take care brother, sure am thinking about you and yours. I can't say I know how you feel, but I promise you I can sympathize with your loss. Take care
