Tracy, I remember your father very well as a much younger man. We would all get together for picnics and family get togethers when you were just a baby. He was always a fun guy with a great sense of humor. I am so sorry to hear of his passing at such a young age. I am praying for you and your family. Michele Tabbone-Reese
