Sue and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember your Dad as a funny smiling guy, who loved farming, bowling, harness horse racing at the State and County fairs and his family, but not necessarily in that order.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Doug, Valerie and especially your Mom.
Mike
