You don't know us but your husband mowed our lawn and plowed our driveway. He was always polite to us. It was wonderful that we never had to call to ask for our lawn to be mowed and our driveway to be plowed. We take care of our bedridden mother and it was nice that we never had to worry about our driveway and our lawn. He will be missed by us. We are thankful that Butch took over the mowing and removel of snow for Jerry. Butch is polite just as Jerry was. Our address is 3208 E. 25th Ct.
