I was in the process of building a house up the hill from Davids house. One day I heard this lawn tractor coming up the driveway and here was this guy whom I'd never met, bringing me vegtables from his gardan and introducing himself. How kind of him. He also introduced me to "Florida" I always enjoyed his humor and had alot of laughs and good times with him.I'll never forget the Green Bay hard hat I made him, because he kept bumping his head. Brownie will always have a special place in my heart! Rest in Peace David!Osceola, WI 07/25/2012 9:32 AM
