With me living in Maryland and Michael in Pennsylvania we only saw each other at the holidays. I enjoyed our times together , with laughs and good conversation. His first wife Martha and my wife Jean Wright were sisters so we had this family bond. He is missed by all.

I am very saddened by the passing of your dad. I always looked so forward to seeing him and just listening to his stories. He had a great sense of humor and a great smile. I will miss him on Christmas, while I remember all of the Christmas' we all spent together at nana's house and my mom's house. They are such warm memories. My sympathy to you all.
