Bob and Ed, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. He was a great guy, a real character, and a real force of nature. He was always so good to me when we were kids and lived next door to each other. I remember so many good times with him at Highlanders - if it wasn't for him, I never would have been involved with the theater. My thoughts and those of my mom and sister are with you.
