"Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow".

Dave and Mike, my deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. I am truly grateful to have known your Dad; I can say for certain that I will never forget him and will always treasure the memories of hanging out and working with him at the "Station". His remarkable wit, wisdom and humor will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him!

May God rest him in peace.
