“Mrs. Righter, Patsy & family, We are so sorry for your loss. Mr. Righter was such a wonderful person and even in the last few years as things started to go down hill he always said hello when he’d go to the mailbox, put the trash out or to start his car. You know he always started that car to try to keep the battery from dying even though no one was aloud to drive it. The kids loved to say hello when they’d see him in the driveway or always went to help him get his mail out. We will defintely miss him and miss coming over to see him on Halloween and bringing the kids over at Christmas to see him. Let us know if there is anything at all you guys need, you know where to find us.”
