Sorry Roy and Steve for your loss. Being around your dad through our friendship I saw very much what a great husband and father he was. Heard many stories from you boys and could tell of your love for your Dad. I remember him carrying Logan around at a family gathering right after Logan was born for over an hour showing him off to everybody. He really loved his family and friends and had a big heart. I know you'll miss him.
