John, I am thinking of you and your family today. I wish I could have known your dad but in many ways know him through you. I'm confident that he is very proud of you and how you have represented his courage, moral conviction, family values and dedication. He will be looking down from Heaven smiling on you and be with you daily.

May the cherished memories you shared with your father bring you some solace during this dark time. May you find strength in the love and support of family and friends, and may the legacy of your father live on through the lives he touched.
