Tara, Colyn, Emma and Andrew. I can't possibly express my sadness at the passing of your Dad and Pappa. He truly was a wonderful man who never had an unkind word for anyone. His love of people and sport was unmatched by anyone I know. He was so proud of you all and loved you above all else. I know this world will be a lesser place without him. My deepest condolences to all of you.
