Uncle Hootie, I have always enjoyed seeing you, dancing with you and hearing your stories. I felt honored and directly connected to the Szabad family, when Matt proposed to me with the ring you gave your wife, Joyce. I am honored to wear this ring everyday and hope to pass it on to the next generation of Szabads. With great respect and love...rest in peace, Love, Susan
