Stretch was a mentor to some, and a friend to all.
We have suffered a loss here in Arizona.

Just today thought about looking over here to see if anyone mentioned this. Stretch and Chantal were my parents best friends back in the 60's and 70's and Stretch was probably my Dad's and oldest and dearest friend. Their son Marc attended elementary school with me up in Grand Forks and he was at my first wedding.
If anyone attended Stretch's funeral then you probably met my dad.
