Don, so sorry about the lost of your Father. PLease pass on my sympathies to your Mom and two sisters. Your Dad always made me feel welcome at your home and always enjoyed life. I was just talking with my wife and son about breweries in Fort Wayne on Sunday. I remember Falstaff and your Dad worked there for so many years.

Don, I wish to offer you my deepest condolences in your
great loss. I met your father when we were sophomores at
Heritage HS and his sense of humor and brightness really
stood out (I saw where his son got that same likeness). May
all of God's peace and comfort bless you and your family one by one is my prayer. Take care !!
