I was saddened but not shocked to learn of your dad's passing. We visited shortly in St Joseph Hospital about two weeks ago. I met part of you , namely Jan, from Sierra Vista. Your dad and I volunteered together for several years at the Hospital. He's in a better place now! God Bless you all Jan Regnier

I was sad to see this post but often thought of him through the years. I worked for him in 1970-1972. My mom "Glenna" worked for him for many years. I pray for peace to his family. Indeed he and Lorraine are together again.
