Tim, sincere condolences to you and your family. Your dad was a dear friend of my dad's and I have fond memories of both him and your Mom from St Joe's.
I spoke with him a few times when my dad was still living at Sedgebrook. He was a very gracious, well spoken gentleman. You have my prayers and my sympathy.
