I will always remember teasing him about the Pittsburgh Steelers. I would always have to walk away and leave him have the last word on the subject. I'll miss the teasing and seeing you. I love you and will miss you. (let's go EAGLES) Just one more time for laughs.

Brenda and family,
Gary called me and told me of your dad's passing and I was very sad to hear of this news. The trip to Canada was the first thing that comes to mind as it was very fun and your parents treated me very well. May God give you all the strength to get through this sad time. Your dad was a stand up guy and I truly hope the he will Rest in Peace.

Marvin, my father-in-law, had a great sense of humor and always a funny story to share. My favorite story was when he was at a restaurant in Canada where the menus were French. He told the waiter he'd like to order the "serviettes." I'll always be able to remember the french word for "napkins" because of his humor.
Thanks for the laughs, Marvin!!
