A truly good man. Missed by all.

My deepest sympathies on the passing of your father - I just found out from my Mom. He was a great guy and will be missed! Thinking of you and your family!

My deepest sympathies on the passing of your father. I have so many happy memories of spending time and sleeping over your house on Chapman Ave, your dad & mom were always so nice to me. Love & prayers to you Sue, Nancy, & Jane.

Love,

Susan and Tory

He also sided with me on a variety of topics from bread to politics which drove Jane nuts.He will be greatly missed.
