Ruth and family, I am so sorry about Mutt. He was there when I accepted Jesus and I remember it very well. Mutt was one of those people who engendered trust immediately on meeting him. He was alwas someone I looked up to and admired, as I do you. You two were very influential in my life and I thank you. I have a heart full of love and sorrow for you and Pam. And to the rest of the family, I’m sorry for the loss of a good father, grandfather and great grandfather. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all who feel the loss of this great man.
