I am so sorry for your loss. I just recently heard about your fathers passing and am very sad I didn't know in time to attend the service for him. Your father was my neighbor when I lived on Rainbow. He was a great friend and neighbor. He helped me often with projects in my yard and one year he even dressed up as Santa for my kids on Christmas Eve. I still have the video....I remember my kids whispering to each other,"I think that is Steve." I just want you to know what a great guy your father was to all. My prayers and thoughts are with your family.
