Joe and Nick Spent the last two weeks recovering from a (minor) operation. So I just found out about the passing of your Dad. Please know that I would have been with you to express condolences in person if health had permitted. Thinking of you and your Mom during these difficult times. I will always remember your Dad as a quiet, calm guy who was very proud and supportive of his great kids. Jack Maguire
