  1. Christine, you are aware that “Ex” is different than “Late,”correct? You should probably show some respect, instead of trying to attract readers with your shock and awe tactics”

    • sorry, I don’t know why I said “ex”. That was incorrect. “Late” was the correct word. I changed it. I am not trying “shock and awe” tactics, nor did I think it was disrespectful to write about him. Everything I said points to what a stellar person he was.
