I met Thad many years ago when I attended nursing school with is then wife, Jane. We became fast friends and he was very supportive and kind to me. The three of us shared many meals and laughs. I knew Julie and Colleen as babies. He loved his children very much. I was very saddened by their divorce and we drifted apart as life went on. However, I many wonderful memories of those happy times. Enjoy your eternal rest, Thad. Susan krisak Umek
