Pat, Alison and Scott – I am very sorry for your loss. Palmer was such a wonderful person whom I remember fondly from when I was a young child through adulthood – he was always so jovial, and had a warm, loving spirit. He will be missed greatly by all, but I’m sure most by his loving wife, children and grandchildren. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Rosann Maneca (aka Rose Huckle-Buckle)
