Steve, Susy, and families,

I am sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. I know this is a very significant closing of a chapter in your lives. Your dad and your mom were always so kind to me. I enjoyed their company greatly and have many fond memories of them. In addition to the welcome in their home and all the adventures they included me in, later in life when I would get a chance to visit I would so enjoy their company. When both Bruce's and my mothers passed away within less than a year of each other, your dad and mom were there to comfort us.

May your dad rest in peace after 94 years of sharing his love and guidance with us all.
