RIP Ernest Sumner, 1927-2021
Please accept our most heartfelt condolences, Jim. Your father must have been a wonderful man!
From the front page:
My father, Ernest Sumner, died earlier today at the age of 93. He passed in a Hospice in Ormond Beach, Florida, after years of declining health. My father was born in 1927, the year Lindbergh flew the Atlantic, Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs and the Jazz Singer was the first talkie. He grew up in Depression era rural Georgia, dropped out of school to join the Army and retired a quarter-century later as a sergeant first class. He helped raise two functional sons, stayed happily married to the love of his life for over seven decades and knew more about cars than anyone I ever met. And he taught me to root for the Yankees. May he finally be at peace.

That's a hard blow to the heart, Jim. He must have been very proud of his sons. Thinking of you and your family.
Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'
