Bob and Rick,
So sorry to hear about your dad passing. He was such a nice guy - I always enjoyed talking to him. I ran into him a couple of years ago at breakfast at the Golden Gate and talked for awhile. Many good memories from the neighborhood and East Side Rams days. My thoughts are with you guys.
