Dear Melissa, Jim and families. I am so sorry to read of the passing of your father. He was such a great guy. We used to spend countless hours talking in our backyards. We would always talk about the days of years gone by. I really loved being his neighbor and friend. God bless all and he will be greatly missed. Love to all. Michael Pone
