Shirley, Debby, Sarah, and Pat,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad (grandpa) was a wonderful man. So glad I had the opportunity to briefly visit him last Sept. I remember spending many evenings at the Bowling house during my high school years. LB was always so generous and soft-spoken. May your memories comfort you during this difficult time.
