My mom, Betty White, remembers your dad (and mom) with great fondness! She says, "They were very good friends! So fun to play bridge with, golf with, and enjoy each other's company." The "TWIT" golf tournaments at their cottage in Wisconsin and golfing with them in Tonto Verde are very good memories for mom. She is especially appreciative that they drove out to Saugatuck to attend my dad, Kirke White's, funeral in April, 2019. So very sorry for your family's loss. We wish you the best when celebrating your dad in mid-January.
