Even though I never really knew Metro, I had met him and Millie a couple of times when they came to visit Rick in Miami. I have worked with Rick for 25 years, and I believe that Metro was a pretty good father, considering what an upstanding son he raised.
Rick, I am so sorry for the pain you are feeling, and hope that you will fill the void with your fondest memories of your dad. My deepest sympathy for he entire family.
