A life well lived, indeed. May his memory be a blessing.

What a terrible loss, my heartfelt condolences to the entire family. He impacted the lives of so many, I´m so sorry.

Heather and sisters, I'm so very sorry for the loss of your parents. Your Dad hired me many years ago (in the 80's) as an office nurse nearly fresh out of nursing school.

What a magnificent tribute this beautiful and well-written obituary is to...
