I am sure Jitters will be missed. He was often up to some car project with my dad (sometimes working on mine). I remember his as full of life with a twinkle in his eye. I looked forward to seeing him, more recently at The Ritz diner on occasion. He leaves behind a lovely, ambitious daughter, Sarah and a beautiful, artistically talented granddaughter, Courtney ( former student). Thoughts and prayers for all the family.
He was a great man! Prayers and thoughts for the family
