Kathy I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your father. I met him once or twice back when Kim and I were still together. It's been 24 years since she passed away. I lost my Mother in 1998 and my Father passed away 2years ago. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this sad time in your life. Tell Rod I said hi, hopefully you still remember me.
