Dear Linda, Dan, and Doug,
Your father was a very important part of my growing up years and I considered him to be a second father. I am so sorry to hear of his "graduation". In 1957, he wrote in my Bible, "Remember that giving of yourself and the things you have is the key to a full life." Certainly he was a fine example of that. My deepest condolences. Andee
