Pam and David, Growing up with parents that were part of "the gang", some of my fondest memories as a kid were hanging out on the beach fishing with everyone. Your dad was ALWAYS my favorite. I will miss his laughter and his kind-hearted nature. God's speed to both of you. Tim & Patti Gard and Family.
