Todd,

My deepest condolences on your loss. I didn't know your father, but I know you, and your son, and I suppose the apples didn't fall far........

Sadly I write this message to a departed dear friend whom we sadly lost. Always knew him to be a stand-up guy, smart, hard working with a great sense of humor. Still recall the `57 yellow Buick convert he drove to Cretin, arriving early on most occasions except for the time it coasted into our school bus at Hoffman Corners while parked. So, who´s perfect?
