Brad and family,
I'm so sorry to read of your loss. The memory of "Wild Bill" doing the soft-shoe around the old Thorpe's store is still a strong and precious one for me, even all these years later. He was truly one of a kind and I'll never forget him.
My condolences and prayers are with you in your time of loss.

Brad,
What an incredible life your Dad had--I'll never forget his telling me (and it doesn't seem all that long ago) about putting on your skates and trying them out! He was a wonderfully kind and sweet man and has always been one of my most pleasant memories of my office products career.
