Julie (Bobby & Chris)...It's been ages since I've seen any of you, including your Dad. All I can say is all my memories of your father were good ones. I was included in many of your family trips as a kid, and "helped" your Dad on the apple truck with Bobby. I always enjoyed having the Conklins as neighbors. Be strong and remember that your Dad had enough love for everyone! Savor the memories.
