My good buddy Gene… sat right behind him in High School… always ready to laugh and be a friend… A real decent guy…
I’m so sorry to hear of Mr. Huard’s passing. I enjoyed running into him at the store, polish home fish dinners, etc., he was always so friendly. My deepest condolences to his family.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your dad. It was an honor to know him -I have so much respect for him as a friend to my dad and cousin , and it was he who made our new home possible to move into in Mexico as a new baby was arriving. We spent many nights working there and I learned so much from him . God bless you Sonny you are now reunited with your “Bride”. Tears are shed for those lost, but heaven has gained a great one.
