I met your dad a couple of years ago when he became a regular visitor to McDonald's shortly before your mom died.
There are a couple of things I will remember about him.
Primarily, his devotion to his wife.
He would always say that when he married her, he had found the best.
Secondly, his loyalty to the village.
When I asked him why he had the service for your mom at the Braun's facility in Cahokia rather than the one in Columbia (which has become the common practice the last few years), he replied that he always considered Cahokia his home.
I enjoyed hearing his experiences over the many years concerning the area and the school district.
