Tennis has been a lifelong friend, since 1958, when I moved into the "red house" behind the greenhouse during a tour at Whidbey Naval Air Station. Tennis taught me everything I know about gardening. He once gave me a large left-over batch of tulip bulbs to plant in the field of some property I owned. They produced so many tulips that Tennis asked for some back! When our family moved to Alaska, Tennis and Sylvia visited several times. While "on vacation", Tennis would proceed to weed our flower garden beds and then would ask if he could help in the vegetable garden. He will always be remembered for his kind, gentle and loving nature. Rest well with the Lord good friend.
