I have known HT for 45 years where we worked together as salesmen in the beginning. He was promoted to sales manager in Jacksonville where he worked for several years. He later returned to Orlando where he was then my boss. He was one of the best managers that I ever had as well as a very good friend. Even after we retired we would call each other and have long conversations reminiscing about old times. I will truly miss my very good friend.
