This is James Hitt and just sick of the news that you lost Gary this week. You only knew us as his yard boys, but what a joy to get to know and just to visit with him each time we came to your house. Such a smart and funny man with a huge personality. He will be missed by the Hitt boys that mowed his yard. Let us know if you need anything in time of loss. Praying for your healing. James, Lisa and sons.
