In Memory of John Ford

John Ford was the "F" in FDR Lawn Mowning, a small business that he, my brother George and Bruce Dapkins ran in their teenage years. John passed away suddenly on May 19 at his Maine summer home and today is his funeral service in Bethany, Connecticut.
Some pictures from the old days. Click to enlarge.

A different time and a different place. Most of the butts in the red ashtray where probably her's.

I love the pictures. My eyes filled up when I saw my parents.
