Kim and Keith I'm so sorry for your loss. You dad was such a nice man and such a character, bigger than life. He was the perfect compliment to your mom. No parents were ever more proud of their kids. I have great memories of them at football games and spaghetti dinners in Ithaca. Please know that you and your families are in my thoughts and prayers.
