Dennis, George, and families,
I remember years ago, after your Dad and my Dad had played and sang at some church, we were sitting in the car in front of our house on Marshall Street. Your Dad looked up at the beautiful moon and said, "Someday, we will be singing up there." This is that "someday." I know that your Dad and my Dad are celebrating with song right now. We are saddened by your Dad's passing, but rejoice in his eternal reward.
