Gail and Brad: So sorry to read of your Dad's passing but what a remarkable life he lived. I never realized how much in common our fathers had from their WWII experiences. I wonder if they knew each other as other than Mayfair Park neighbors. I remember your father's gardens so well as that was not something my parent's did. You were so lucky to have him for so many years and may your wonderful memories surpass your grief of loss.
