2009 RAC Picnic at Veterans Memorial Park in Woodbridge, VA: (From left to right) Front row: Gerry Danis, Barnes FitzGerald, Dave Harding, Paul Devine - Back Row: Mike Lucas, Wayne German, Ralph Ware and Tommy Watts

Long time, no post. This picture was taken at our annual company picnic in 2009. Since that time, we have lost many of those who were and still are near and dear to us. Paul Devine was the first to leave us after we saw him at our 2011 picnic. Barnes passed away in December 2012, and his brother Jimmy died suddenly in January 2013. Three days after Christmas 2013, Tommy Watts and his wife Grace were involved in a car accident. Tommy passed away in the hospital, and Grace is at home well on the way to recovery. Unfortunately, we lost Gerry a few weeks ago, on March 28th, to a blood clot while he was recovering from pneumonia. A memorial service for Gerry will be held in Charlottsville, VA on Saturday April 26th. Click here to view his obituary. We miss you all.
