Hi Connie,
I saw this obituary online and wanted to say I am sorry for the loss of your father. I remember him from when we were children and he was always very kind. For some reason I have strong memories of him grilling hamburgers in your backyard, and of the spats he wore when he and your mother went out one evening. Sweet memories. I hope you are all well.
