Lynn, Nancy, Jerry and Laurie; My deepest condolences to you and your kids. My earliest memories of your mom and dad were way back in the sixties when everyone came to your house on January 1 to watch your color TV. We watched the parades and then the football games-or at least the adults did.Stay safe - Gary Day
