Dear Family,
It was an honor to know your Dad and spend time with him. One of my favorite things was to guess where he was going to eat with you on Saturday afternoons. Your Dad brought many smiles to me when I had rough days myself. God´s blessings to your family. He and his buddy Sam are enjoying sports together.
