Paula, really sorry to hear about your dad's passing - for years I enjoyed talking to him at the VFW when I was home on leave. I always enjoyed the conversation and really appreciated his interest and the time he took to chat. The phrase "they don't make them like him anymore" is overused but certainly applies in your dad's case, he was a real patriot and a genuine nice guy.

Dear Jeanine and Family, I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He will hold a special place in my memory forever. He was a very funny man, a very talented man, and I could always elicit a good word from Bob. He had an ability to make me laugh, with his unique sense of humor. I know you will all miss him so much. He rests in his loving heavenly Father's arms now, and that's a very good place to be. Peace and comfort to all of you.
