Sorry to hear of Mr. Epsy's death. I first met him at R and R when I stopped in to get a pop. He was tinkering with some tool trying to get it to run right. He always greeted people with a big grin. He bragged about his grandkids . I pray that God grants his family comfort as they remember him and how much he lived them.
