Phyllis and Vivian so sorry to hear of your loss. Your father was a great guy. When I was a little neighborhood terrorist I was always afraid to get within 10 feet of his garden fearing the worst. I would cut through the tracks and see him standing there and then one day he just smiled and waved hello to me. From that day on when I was cutting through the tracks I would look to see if your Dad was outside so I could wave as I ran by. He will be missed.
