It is with great sadness that I heard of Suzie's passing. Suzie and I started attending meetings of the National Liquor Stores Association (NLSA, later NABR and now ABL) back in 1983. We came in at the same time and became the best of friends. We looked forward to our quarterly meet-ups, worked together, did touristy things together and always had the best of times all while serving the liquor industry to the best of our abilities. Suzie convinced me to become convention chairman after she was finished with the job but she always stood by me with so many of those thankless tasks. She was warm, loving, funny, and fun-loving. We had the greatest of times together and I will cherish those times and the memories that I made being with her.
