Very Sorry for you loss, Bruce. I can always remember your father here, from the Pine Grove Record Hops back in the early 60's I can always remember too, when he purchase his 1963 Chevrolet Impala, and he was so thrilled, with his new car. Your father brings back memories of the 'good old days'. Love those memories.
