Hi Jim and Matt....
I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your father/grandfather. Having lost my mother in law during [this] thanksgiving I can share your sorrow. It will not be the same Christmas celebration as in previous years. But knowing what kind of "class acts" you guys are....and going w/"the apple doesn't fall far from the tree"...Bernie was an amazing kind of guy. God bless you and you/his entire familly.
