All of this took great effort from hard working people who just wanted to share the love.

You could not have a day to honor a local hero without the politicians trying to get a little face time.

why do they always have to start with the whereas and whyfors.

And a Local hero has his own heroes.

 

A touching tribute from his Granddaughter and a not so touching one from his fans.

And the tributes from the politicians was all fun and fun for all.

And lastly Fans had their chance to relive old memories and to make new memories

Thank you, Sir! And thank you, JP!
