Jim, Kathy and Mary Ellen, I want to let you know how sorry I am for your loss. I remember your Dad from the many parties at my parents but mostly our summer playing tennis and winters playing paddle tennis at BHTC! Your Dad was such a great competitor while always, always being a gentleman! A funny gentleman, but still a gentleman! I hope wonderful memories help soften the feelings of loss. And know his legacy will always live in his family and friends.
