I would like to ask for a correction. We didn't "knew ye" at all, not even a fraction of a percentage. You don't even put the guys name in your post, if I followed the link I bet the story about him doesn't even have his name. No one knew ye...him.

Actually I didn't realize what the dude's name was but once I saw it, it was familiar. The family name adorns a very large clothing store in Sharon, which is connected to the town I live in.

Dola

His name is James E. Winner Jr.

If you google images his name, about 5,000 different things come up, and I have no idea if any of those people are him. Thus, I'm randomly selecting one of the images that came up, at the off chance that it actually is him.



RIP
