Farewell, my friend. You were a joy to know. Always cheerful, time for a joke, and stories of a life well lived. Especially found it fun to compare notes about our hometown, Rochester New York. You knew the street where I lived as a baby, and I knew your high school. Your generosity, including meals out and to your home, were special. Always the good host! Many memories.
Your friend, Peg Hainey
