Just found out about your Dads passing. I was pals with your Mom from 4th grade on and was in your parents wedding. Talked with your Dad on the phone from time to time when he was in the Regency. Many memories. My prayers and sympathy to all of you.

Jeff, Todd, Becky, Matt, Andy and Debbie, Our hearts share in your grieving for your Dad. We were so sorry to hear of his passing today. I am so lucky to have had him as a cousin and in my life. We talked at least once a month and had some pretty stirring conversations that always left me wanting to talk more! He had a contagious laugh and I am filled with GREAT memories! You will all be in our prayers,may your saddness be tempered with joy, and the knowledge that your parents are together again in heaven and wonderful memories. God bless you all. Lee and Sharon and family
