My deepest regrets go out to you and all the family. Your Dad was one of the nicest people there was, and a ball game at Market Garden would have never been as good without your him and his goodies. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and all the family.

Was sorry to hear about Gene. We were friends for many years. We will miss him, but know will see him again.
We are praying for the family at this time.
