Dusty, I'm so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I practically grew up in your house, so he was like a second dad to me for many years. I have so many fond memories of him. He was always so kind and loving. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am here for you if you need anything. Love you.
