Patti, and family,
Although I never knew your dad personally, after talking with you several times thruout his illness towards the end, I feel I somehow connected with you and he, thru mutual experiences. Prayers going up for you and yours, and thinking about you all thruout this...he was one lucky Dad to have you support him and be by his side...

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take---- but by the number of moments that take our breath away."
I will always cherish the wonderful times I spent with you Dad, both as a child and as an adult. I will always be able to hear you sing in my ear when we went to court to get my drivers license "just call my name and I'll be there" in 1970. Memories of you will always be with me. I love you Dad!
Love your daughter, Patti
