Phyllis,Brandi and Steve and Eli,
Dan and I are still in shock. As we left the funeral home tonight, we talked about him all the way home. Art called Dan two days before he died. They had a nice long talk. We are so very sorry to hear about his death. We will remember him always. Eli, your Grandpa was a very dear friend to me for over 36 years. We were very good car buddies.
