I have many memories growing up and being at the shop with my mom (Joann Moore) while she was working. He was always so sweat and nice. I also remember get togethers at their house and playing in their big shower/tub. I’m am so sorry to hear of his and Beverly’s passing. They were both such wonderful people to me. Sending hugs to the family and my condolences.
