Our thoughts and prayers to you all. We know how difficult it is to have a loved one leave us at this time of year. Know that he is an angel on your shoulders now, and always with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Strom family during this difficult time. I had the pleasure of working with Mel for a short time before his retirement from Opperman and Son.
