We only met one time, this past summer at Lions Park in Castalia. I was picking up my girls from softball and you stopped to ask me where your boys were playing thier baseball game that afternoon. We decided that they were playing in Clyde and when you asked for directions to the ball field, we thought for just a moment and since we were up for an adventure after our practice, asked you to follow us to the boys game rather than explain the directions. It is such a pleasant memory and oh, how happy your team was when you safely arrived before they started playing ball. When you assured us that you would follow the team bus back to Margaretta High School, we said our goodbyes and wished you well. You certainly made an impression on us with your genuine kindness and love of you team. May you rest in peace and know that you touched our lives and hearts with just that one meeting. Sincerely, Becky, Brooklin and Avi
