Growing up (kindergarten through 12th grade) he was like my second dad.

While we grieve here on earth, we grieve for what we will miss... remembering always that we are happy that dad has joined his loving wife and the beginning of their new life together.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Ross, Scott and their families. He will always hold a special place in my heart.
