Nick,it was a GREAT PRIVILEGE to have a TRUE friend like you in my life. Thank you so much for your kindness, wisdom, help on the many projects of mine at my 3 places as well as the decades of hard work on the washes. Your children are fortunate to be the product of such a TREMENDOUS leader,role model,father.
I hear your voice speaking to me and comforting my tears. Those tears, that come from pain and joy, from our many years. You were a part of my life from my very first breath. You'll be in my heart when I take my last. I will join you then, dear brother, and no tears will be shed. We'll rejoice in Gods' love and say, amen.
A trip to Disney World prompted the picture of Nick and Steve Parker. Nick had to explain and convince Rutty, not to name Jesse, Jesse James. At the time, his mother had no understanding of the famous outlaw.
