Dear Mari, Noreen, Eileen, and families,
My sincerest condolences go out to all of you today. You may recall I had the opportunity to get to know your Dad in the summer of '72 after the ravages of Agnes. To this day an indelible memory for me through the years was your Dad's unwavering patience during the whole ordeal. I'm sure all of you will miss him immensely, and my thoughts and prayers are with you.
