Jeff and Carolyn, I am so sorry to hear of Pete's passing. I have so many good memories of all of you from our childhood and I realy regret that we did not stay in touch through the years. Everytime I come home (from Alabama where we live now)I think of the old days when I pass by where your house was. Pete was a realy good person and I am sure that he will be missed by those that realy knew him. Freddie Reynolds

Jeff & Marie, I was so saddened to hear about Phillip's passing. We had some great times at car shows. Phillip was always a great encourager and supporter of mine. He was very knowledgeable about the car showing process. He did not mind taking the time to share and inform those like me who had no clue. He was very special in his love for cars and people. I will miss him greatly. Phillip serving our country was a great and honorable sacrifice.... John 15:13
