Rickie, Candy and family - so sorry to hear of your Dad´s passing - the last of the brothers - know how sad this time is for you all. Sadly, over the past 10-15 years, most of my meetings with your Dad were when someone in our family was in the hospital. Your Dad always stopped in to see my Dad whenever he was in hospital and we´d enjoy visiting together. Know that we are sending prayers and thoughts to all of you.
