My sympathies to all of you - it is so hard to lose a husband and/or father. I never knew him, but am fortunate to have David (Kevin) as a neighbor. He is such a gentle, compassionate and giving person. Perhaps some of you know him and understand what a gift he is to us.
Our thoughts are with you,
Gretchen and Bob Dent
