Epps Family,
It is truly a tribute to a life well lived, when the stories of about a loved one are so rich, his loss is personal to a stranger. Estelle, from the very first story you shared about your father, he became larger than life to all of us. I know the love you and your family share for your father will enable his legacy-- his humor, accomplishments, and love- to live forever.
Love to you all.
