So sorry for your loss; your Dad was a great and funny guy. I really enjoyed the pictures and the DVD while I was there for a short time; love to see the full DVD and finish the article about him. You're blessed to have had him around especially to 91. Bles you all and you're in my prayers.

Dianne and Larry, I'm so sorry we missed the chance to express our condolences in person. We send them now along with this consoling thought someone once shared with me: "I am no longer where I used to be. Now, because you remember me, I am wherever you are."

Jeff and I are thinking of you and your brothers as you lay your father to rest. We are so glad you all had time with him before he passed away.
We were lucky to have met him and Aunt May during their trip to Springfield. He lived an amazing life.
Take care. We love you,
Marty and Jeff
