After 42 years of being privileged to serve this community, I am announcing my retirement.  When I moved my family here to chase my dream, we were welcomed by a community that made it so  easy to serve with the compassion that was deep in my heart. You willingly gave me your respect, trust and confidence and have all been such a huge part in the success of my business. There truly is no way  to measure the amount of gratitude that is in my heart for being given the honor to serve, guide and comfort you during the most difficult and trying times in your lives.

So, as easily as you accepted me back then, I respectfully ask you to accept my decision to retire and enjoy what life has left to offer me. I will cherish all the memories and friendships I have made. The past four decades have been such an amazing journey and I am so glad we traveled it together. I thank

 you all.
