Steve, I just found out about your wonderful dad and it was very sad for me to learn such sad news. He was a great guy and I would imagine a wonderful dad and mentor to you. He will be missed by all who knew him while at the same time all that knew him find peace in knowing his love and faith for his Creator. You two made a great team and while he may be absent physically, his spirit and love will be at your side. God bless you and your entire family, Joe Salas
