Condolences

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. There's no doubt that Doodle is in a better place now. I have such fond memories when I was a little girl living on Stewart Ave. every time Doodle's truck started I would run to the gate and most of the time if he was just running errands he would blow the horn and tell mom that he was taking me with him. I remember standing in the seat beside him riding all over town and he would take me to the restaurant to have lunch. He was an amazing man with a lot of love to give. He will be greatly missed.
