Paul, Rita, and Jonathan; Sorry to hear the news of your Dad's passing. I remember the time I first met him through my Dad and Grandpa on one of their visits to your office on P.C.H. Time has flown since then and I am sure your many family times together leave memories that will always be in your heart even though he is now with the Lord. I enjoyed getting updated on him when we would meet. I would have attended the memorial if I had been available. We are also dealing with a loss too as my brother passed away on Dec. 16th! I will tell you more when we meet again. Our prayers are with you ALL. God bless. The Kelloggs
