    Vance and Family,

    I am so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed communicating with Mr. Latimer via Facebook and will certainly miss him. Words are just that but please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

    Mr. Latimer gave me my first job, just a kid, he taught me a lot about the business and about life. He could sometimes be tough, but I realize I’m a better person for the lessons he taught. I’ve always kept track of him thru Dothage and It will sadden me knowing he’s not around. sincerely David Hansen
