    I sure am going to miss his phone calls. We would usually talk for an hour or more. I love him so much and will miss him a lot. I remember as a child when he would come home on leave, I would walk a mile to meet him and carry his suitcase back to the house. We would have such wonderful talks on the way home together. LeRoy
