Hi Deb,..My brother, Terry Dickman & your Dad, were the best of friends. I spoke on the phone several times with your Dad, as, being a stroke victim my self, was always comforting to talk with him. I met him years ago, thru my brother. God be with you now Deb...He's at peace with HIM . Erla Williams
