Cathy,
You and your family are in our prayers as you go through this sorrowful time. The last time I saw your dad was when my mom, Luke and I were talking to him at Preble High about a performance Molly was in. We just picked up a conversation like old times on Larscheid Street days. He gave my mom a big hug. She died only 5 weeks ago. Debbie uphill Lisch

I will always have a special place in my heart for Rab. His smile always had a glint of mischief and he was a wonderful person to be around. May all your happy memories keep you sustained during this sad time. Randy and I are sorry we can't be there to celebrate his life.
