Cathy, Trisha, Nancy & Mary Beth: I have so many wonderful childhood memories of being at your house and your Dad was such a big part of them. I remember when he sketched profiles of us, him bringing me a gift of a Dr's bag when I was in the hospital having my tonsils out, and him and your Mom referring to the as their 5th daughter, and Yummy dinners with the whole family where he always joked with us. He had a great sense of humor, and I always felt privileged to share his birthday with him. My love and sincere sympathy to you all.
