Dear Gail, Steve, and Rick~
My deepest sympathies on your Father's passing.
He and my own Father had a special bond going back to the 1950's. The laughs and stories they shared were immeasurable.
And after my Dad passed away, Lester and I would laugh about those stories!
He was a class act as a businessman and more so as a person.
He's together now with your Mom and he is someone I'll remember always.
