Louise and Denny,
I have been living in Houston, Tx since 1981. I do read the Toledo Blade online and was so sorry to see your Dad's obituary. I remember when your Mom and Dad drove us to Reynoldsburg and I stayed at your house when you initially moved there. I've thought of your family through the years and have many fond memories of hanging out at your house on Spring Grove. I am very sorry for your loss.
