Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this difficult time.
Maybe gone, but definately not forgotten. Quincey was my friend. Though he had a few years on me, he never flaunted it. Though he had a larger lexicon than I, we both took pride in it. Quincey offered me his friendship and I took hold of it with both hands. His joy in each encounter was genuine. We shared a few breakfasts at IHOP and he even invited me as his guest once at the monthly Retired Nuclear Scientist Breakfast at the Shilo Inn. He told me he had a soft spot for used car dealers as his father in Georgia took on sales of used cars at his general store when Quincey was a boy. Love you Quincey, thanks for being my friend. Beverly, any help I can offer you, just ask.
Dear Suzanne-I am sad to read about your Father. Please know that my thoughts are with you at this very difficult time. God Bless, Monica
