Marty, Bruce, and Vivian

I was very saddened to read of your dad's passing. He was a wonderful man with a great sense of humor. I remember fondly, my visits to the farm...even the ones that had me slinging bales of hay into the barn. He was never shy when it came to offering advice and I was grateful for that on many occasions.

He will be missed. I will remember all of you will be in my prayers.
