Judy and Family: Jack and I are so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a good man with a great sense of humor and warmth. I'll miss seeing him for his weekly visits to the branch. Please find comfort in knowing that your mom was there waiting for him with open arms and he is now at peace. Probably even playing a round of golf. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Love to you all.
