My sincere condolences to Gloria and her family. We worked together many years ago, and I think I did meet your dad at one time. Prayers for comfort.

I'm sad over Bill's passing. I was fortunate enough to have joined him on a couple of visits to Cripple Creek. My wife and I sat and listened to some of his stories about things he experienced in his life. If there is one thing I learned from Bill it's that every man should love his wife like Bill loved his bride... R.I.P. Our condolences to Gloria and all his family..
