"Jean, Mark and Andy. I am so sorry for your loss. I owe my sharp basketball skills to the Glascock family where Mark and I spent countless hours shooting hoops in the driveway. One of my fondest WC memories was watching Alan's old Laurel and Hardy classic films. Al also gave me a precious gift, the home made videos of the ICCC father-son campouts over several years. It is one of most special memories I have of dad (Dave). I was blessed to have known Al and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you."
