Dear ARV...it's been two years already that you lost your Dad...I remember because I had lost my own Dad exactly a month before (March 14/17)......we were both so lucky to have them for so long in our lives. I never met your Dad, but I know that Mike really loved playing cards with him. I know he will be remembered fondly. Take care!
