I was very sorry to hear of the passing of "Cherry". Our family has known him since he stared working with Wilford. I enjoyed working with him as he was always at the office by 7:30!. He did our business and personal accounting .But he was more than an accountant for us, he was a friend. He was a fine person and he will be missed. - Posted by: Frank Kovitz (Friend) on: Jan 20, 2006
