Dennis and family...I am so sorry to hear that your father has now passed away. Seems that frequently spouses don't live very long after their loss. I am sure they had a wonderful life and certainly left a legacy of good children and grandchildren. Thinking of you in this time of sorrow.
Much love to you.
