Gregg and family: Sorry to have not been there for the services. I just found out today and was out of town last week. Your dad was a great guy. We were lucky to have had him around so long, but it's all the blink of an eye now isn't it? I hope the end was peaceful for Bill. Deepest sympathy for you and your family from all of the Steins.
