I just found out about the passing of your Dad and want to express my condolences to all of you. I have very fond memories of him including visiting with him on your front porch as well as several conversations with him at various social functions in my home town. I wish I could attend his funeral Mass tomorrow but I have a previous commitment which prevents me from doing so.
