Compassionate and understanding, a person who you were glad to have as a neighbor. He easily shared his passion for life and his deep concern for his family, friends, and community. Thank you Judy, Tom, Ellen, Betsy, and Janet for sharing your Dad with the rest of us. I bet I know who is doing some flower arrangements.
