Terry,
Sorry for your loss. I couldn't make the ride due to work schedule. The name Martin Ayers sounded familiar to me when I heard the news. Until today, I wasn't sure why? When I was a young buck of 22 (now 61), I was going to college and worked summers at Montgomery Ward's at Capital Plaza. Your Dad was one of the first people I became friends with. My watch broke and I went to him and he fixed it for free. He knew his watches. He was a fantastic man and everyone liked him. Although , I have not seen him in 38 years, I still remember his rewarding smile. Thanks for posting his picture and bringing back a great memory to me.
My prayers are with you and your family.
