Paul & Tim - Uncle Al, Jen, and I extend our deepest sympathy to y'all. We hope you are able to share some meaningful memories of your dad. I have many memories. Think I visited and spent time in every home you had. Even went from Colorado to the Badlands in the backseat, minus the seat, of the VW. What a hot fun trip.
The last time I saw your dad, he said he always called me the "Rebel" of the family. We had a good laugh over that. Told him I would "wear" the name proudly.
"Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a Crown of Life." Revelation 2:10
Love, Aunt Dorothy and family
