I never met your Dad, but I bet he was an amazing man just by knowing you. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, now and always. You have always been such a positive supporter of my children, and we will never forget. Your father must be so proud of you and your accomplishments.

85 was the age of my Dad when he passed. I considered that he lived a full life and I am sure that you share this feeling.
I recall Dorothy and Robert as being appreciative of the tunes that I played when I performed at the Holiday Arena dining room.
He now joins that team of former North Hi footballers. On that team they will be the winners of all the games played !!
