Georgette,
We were so sorry to hear about Clix. He fought such a brave fight for such a long time. We have been gone and just heard of his passing from some of our pickleball friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I have so many happy memories of Uncle Clix. Most involved him laughing - He had the absolute best laugh! I can hear it now. To me he was the coolest because he had that dreamy car. And he was marvelous company aboard a cruise ship during the tropical storm of the century.
I am so very sorry to hear of his passing. My sympathy to Georgette, Mary, Mike, Dave, Jim and your families.
