Just saw the estate notice for your father in the local paper. We did not know of his passing. Found his obituary online that his passing occurred 2 months ago. For many years he came in our office with his dog(s) to get wood permits. He loved his animals. He was always full of fascinating stories. I always told him he needed to write a book. This past year we had been rather concerned because he had become rather forgetful, however, we did not know who to contact. We have been wondering where he was since he has not been in for quite sometime now and that was very unusual for him. So sorry to read of his passing. He will be missed.
