Bob- I am so sorry about the loss of your father. I hope you gain comfort in knowing how much he appreciated and enjoyed the everyday lunch visits; enjoyed the power outages knowing he could count on you to re-set the VCR; the visits at his new home and most important--giving him a "free" place to live! You gave him joy. I wish you and your family my sincerest sympathy and a road to quick healing. Be well.
