Supak Family, so sorry for your loss, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless you and give you the guidance and strength you need in the difficult days that lie ahead.
Mr. Supak was a natural born salesman, many a school year shopping for school clothes at JB White's...It's almost like I can hear him asking you need a new pair of shoes or some socks?
Cindy, I hope life has been good to you and yours. He will always be close in your hearts...
With deepest sympathy,
