Kelly and I were sad to learn about the passing of your father. As you know, we knew him well (beyond office talk) and, although we only saw each other about once a year, he was someone that we certainly respected and could count on. I enjoyed bringing him a frozen slushy from Speedway and talking to him about the farm, we considered him to be a friend. He will be missed and may your memories get you through this difficult time.

So sad, Danny. Our little brother shouldn't die before his older sisters. We are so proud, however, of his children (whether his natural born or his extended family). Rest in peace and so glad you are with Dad now. You two were so very close.

I will surely miss our chats, cutting down trees and riding your dune buggy around the creek. RIP buddy.
