Russell Stovers

Tonight I had to run into a random grocery store to pick up a few quick things.  I was sort of out of it, because I had just left an event where I had to speak of him, and what he meant to me.  I had a runny nose and puffy eyes as I wandered through the store, down this random aisle.  I just happened to look over to my left, and there it was....the Russell Stovers jack pot.  He loooovved this chocolate.  He told me over and over how it was the best, bar NONE, chocolate.  He would literally turn his nose up at Godiva, and Whitmans was a joke to him.  This was it, the best, hands down.  It was a ritual for him at Christmas time to get some for himself and pretend it was a gift in his stocking.  Then he would get us each our own.  And he'd tell us when we opened them, "if you need any help with that, let me know" and he would giggle at himself like it was the funniest joke in the history of the world.
