“Dry sense of humor “! I remember in fourth grade when he had me almost convinced Cindy was deaf! I said ” how come she can talk on the phone?” He said a flashing light goes off when the phone rings so she might answer it,then someone else runs into the room and lip syncs the conversation for her! Funny guy. The “Burger Chef years” made me smile. He was my first manager at my first job. I bought my first car from him. I haven’t seen him in a couple years but am extremely sad to know he has left us. My condolences to the rest of the family.
