I just want to say to the entire Gross family that I am so sorry for your loss. I had the opportunity to travel home, the first time in 20 years, for my nephew, Sam´s wedding. Steve attended that wedding and I went up to him gave him a hug and said Steve I´m really glad to see you. It´s been a long time and he says yeah I had to be here. Sam may not be my biological son, but I claim him, he´s my son! Thank you, Steve!... David, you know I love you and I know times was not always the best, but your dad knew you loved him, and he loved you.
