Diane, Bob and family. Going back five decades when we were kids at St. Patrick's Catholic School, your dad was one of the nicest parents I knew. I know he must have loved his family, because he seemed to just smile, be happy and simply enjoy life. My condolences for the loss you will feel on his passing. May his example lead us to relish life as he did.
