Jason,
I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. Please know that I am holding your family in my prayers at this time.
Your father gave me a giant insulator to share with my students each year when we did our electricity unit. If I remember correctly, he came and talked to the class about his work at ConEd when I had you as a student. I am retired now and I have a collection of antique insulators. The one he gave me is a precious treasure! Please give your mom a big hug from me.
