Sincerest condolences.
Memories growing up together on Orleans Way include your dad's kind, fun, loving personality. I remember sitting outside your house when he would come home from work with his metal lunch pale in hand and a big smile. His cheerfulness always made my day better. I remember also how much he loved interacting with our dogs.
I hope all the great memories will bring you comfort during this difficult time and in the days ahead.

The loss of a love one is difficult. May the precious memories you have help you cope and bring you peace. 1 Thes. 4:14 can bring you some comfort knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death can be reassuring. May the God of peace be with you and your family.
