Lori,
It was just today in talking to the Parkers Cleaners team that I heard of the passing of your father.
I remember him being such a nice, patient father, though larger than life, who made a young (and very nervous) high school boy dating his daughter feel at ease.
I just smiled.
Thinking of you today.
Mark
