There's a bond that binds our families; the innocence we shared those many years ago still lives. The life we shared still grows. It needs only a thought to kindle the glow of love we have for one another, no matter the miles. Good times, good memories. Laughing parents, playful children, loving atmosphere. Who could ask for more… Thank you Steve, Jo, Red and Bob. All my love...

I had only brief moments of time with your dad, but knew immediately he was a man of honor and was so deserving of admiration and respect. . . He loved his family and friends and they loved him in return. He will be greatly missed!
