Our Father was a wonderful, caring man who taught me many of life's important lessons. He was a grade school teacher, and as a teenager I went to school with many of his former students. They all said that he was the best teacher they ever had. He is deeply missed by all who knew him.

Dear Gary & Sue,
Very sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. It’s been a long time since we’ve spoken, but I fondly recall our youth together. It’s never easy losing a parent no matter the age. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
