To Sally, Liz, Andy, and Jim - I fondly remember your dad. He had such a great sense of humor and was always driving us (Sally and me) to some event or place we wanted to go when we were teenagers. I am so sorry for your loss, but I know from talking with Sally on many occasions he left this world knowing he was loved by all of you. My sincere condolences and love to you all. Diane Sanders
