Somewhere in Heaven there's a tall Scandanavian man with white hair riding a lawn tractor with the headlights on. He was a good man.

Laura,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Although I only met your father briefly, I can see from his story he lived a full and rich life volunteering and helping others. And along with the fact that he raised you and your siblings, proves he made this world a better place. May he soar to Heaven on eagles wings and may the Good Lord comfort you and your family.
