Condolences
I was Marsha Johnson way back then
Bianca and I are deeply sorry for your loss. Floyd "Dad" Postlethwait was my second father as I matured in my life and got to know and spend time with him. I thank Rex for bringing him into my life in the short period of time we had together while stationed at Dover AFB, De. He was one of my biggest inspirations. He taught and showed me how to hunt and how a man is supposed to take care of his family. I'm sorry that I did not spend as much time with him as I should have. Rest in peace Dad Postlethwait. God has received another great man into his Kingdom. I know David will keep you company until the rest of us have the honor of meeting up with you in Heaven.
I believe i knew Jimmy in high school, sorry for your loss. am sure he will be greatly missed.
