Diane Cole. Thank you for your wonderful remembrance. So on point. And, for your information, you are correct. He wrote his own obit.

Such fond memories of this remarkable family from shared times at St. Mary of the Wasatch. Always welcomed friends of the Blair kids as extended family. Held in blessed memory.
