I think Kevin Aldridge did a nice job with his tribute to Choppy. He was one of Middletown's finest leaders and a very nice and special person. Thanks Kevin and God Bless Choppy and family.]]> Fri, 26 Apr 2013 09:20:33 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5211&PID=37706&title=remembering-choppy#37706 Remembering Choppy : Going to miss that man.

Saunders died Monday at his home in Port Charlotte, Fla., following a long battle with illness. He was 94.
