Dear Phyllis, Kathy and families, I was so sorry to read of your Dad's passing. He was truly a remarkable, accomplished and talented man. His longevity was most impressive! May your fond memories bring you comfort at this difficult time. Patty

My heartfelt sympathy to you all. He was part of my family in my teens as my second dad. What a wonderful soul. I included a photo from the glider days. I will miss him.
