Willie and Family,
I’m so sorry for your loss, it came as a shock to me when I heard the news. It doesn’t seem that long ago when we were chasing around MN & WI racing snowmobiles, even though it was 50 years ago!! I sure enjoyed my time with you and the rest of the family.
Take care my friend; my deepest condolences to you and the rest of the family.
