Peggy and Mike,
I'm sorry I didn't realize your father had passed until this morning. I always remember Westie had a smile on his face and he was willing to help anyone.
I remember how Westie and some of his friends came to make some repairs for Joy Clouse after he husband had passed. He made a difference in a lot of people's lives.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your families.
