Mr. Trigger, I didn't know your real name. What I have ever known about you, you were a real man. You cared about your family and community. Your name and reputation weighed heavy in the community. If I told someone's father that Mr. Trigger sent me or knew me, I was guaranteed to be a good apple or to do good work. My dad always thought very highly of you and had said you encouraged him while being self-employed. Greasey and family appreciated knowing you and salute you. Your lessons and talks with my father did not go to deaf ears, they were passed on to my life.
