Goodbye old friend. We've had many years of robust laughter and multicolored jokes. Thank you for yours and Audrey's friendship over the past 40 years. I am not sure heaven is quite ready for you but I know that is where you are now. You were one of my toughest pool opponents. You will be missed! Audrey will always be in our thoughts also. Ed and Helen
