John and Anthony, I'm so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a true gem and gentleman. They don't make them like him anymore. Loved his way with people and so many will miss him. Richard Schultz sends his sympathies also as he's out of state this week. We are happy and blessed to have had the opportunity to have shared a time of our lives with him. May he rest in peace now with your mom.
