Tim, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I never really knew your Dad, but I knew your Mom and grandmother, and you and I spent a lot of time together at my Cousins house (Susie & Marvin Skeens) when we were younger. Again, so sorry for your loss.
