To the family of "Sporty' sometime someone would ask us his real name we had think or go ask. From me and I am sure from other managers we have never meet someone that done whatever he could for us without complaining. He was a person that like to save things, didn't want to throw anythings away. His spirit was a happy one. He liked his juice and his cigarettes. He love his family.Elsie & friends.
