I just want to let you all know how very sorry I am for this big loss to your families. I had only gotten to know your dad over the past few years and feel blessed for knowing him. He was always so spunky with his comments and always love to talk sports with me!! He made me smile when I saw him!! I will continue to have all of you in my thoughts and prayers during this hard time. With deepest sympathies,
