Char & family, I'm so sorry that you've lost your dad. What a sweet fella he was!!! He used to come in to pay his water bill before he moved down to be nearer to you. He was such a nice guy, so funny. Not sure I'll make it to calling hours, I'm bringing my Mom home from rehabbing at a nursing home tonight. Cherish your memories, I know they fill your heart & mind. Love ya girl!!
