So sorry to learn of your dad's passing ....your family gave him so much wonderful care and love...seafood and ice cream!! I have fond memories of seeing you with him at the Oaks and of sharing meals with him when I would visit with my mom, Catherine Mikkleson. God rest his dear soul.

I am sorry to read of his death and my sincere condolences to his family.
