He was a kind, generous man. Brooke will continue to have wonderful memories of him. As we drove into the Fish Market's parking lot in San Mateo a few days ago, she said, "Oh I remember this place! Grandpa and I feed the ducks here!" And they did! Incredibly, it was over 5-6 months ago and she still remembered. Terrie

There are no easy words to express sympathy for the loss you feel.

May it be some small comfort to know

that others care and share in your sorrow.
