I just found out about your dad passing and I am so sorry to hear. He was a wonderful person who loved to tell me a joke and chat when I delivered the mail. I remember him raking leaves and stopping everytime I came thru the yard just to talk or ask how I was doing. He was a nice man and I had the honor of knowing him for 11yrs. He will be missed. My prayers go out to you and your family.May you find peace in knowing that he isn't suffering anymore and that he is up there with your mother smiling down on you. Dee (mail-lady)

Alexis, I am so sad to read about your Dad, he was a very special man. I remember Alex and my father pairing off as couples at Bridgeview many time, and they remained friends for many years. I also remember, we spent alot of good times at Northern Lights Bowling Alley Saturday morning league. When time is good for you, feel free to call, would love to talk to you.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
