Ed,
I have been away these last few days and just read of your Dad's passing. Please accept my sincerest condolences, but from getting to knowing you these past few years, it is obvious he left a wonderful legacy with you, judging by the way you treat others.
May he be at peace.

I was saddened to read of the passing of Manny. I worked with him at Hewlett Packard for years. He was a dedicated worker, good friend, and a heck of a guy. My condolences to the family.
