Hi Dad, I was thinking of you today, like I do most days, and I wanted to read all the wonderful tributes to you and your life. I miss you every day. A lot of these tributes talk about your contributions to the SFFD, and there were many. I just want to honor my Dad today and thank you for always supporting me, no matter what. We miss you more than words can say. Rest in Peace, Dad! I love you, until we meet again. XOXO

What a great man. Many stories we had spending two summers at Surrey Inn in Russian River with John and Tim (sons). I started to golf because of him. I would ride my bike for miles to see him play in the City Golf Championship at Harding park every year.
