West, I am so sorry for your loss. You look JUST like your dad! What a handsome fellow ;). But in all seriousness, I can only offer my prayers for you, you talked so lovingly and respectfully about your Dad; I know you will miss him. His obituary was so delightful, you were a lucky son to have such a father. Wishing you comfort and hope.....
