To Trisha and Rick, and to all of your family - My condolences to you, and prayers that God will bring peace and comfort to your hearts. I remember your father always wondering why you, Rick, and I, with our friend Tom Taugher, would spend so much time tinkering on our '58 Chevrolet Convertibles. Yours had a straight 6, and I had the V8, remember?
Trisha, I rember you from Seattle U, and boating in the early '80s.
Growing up in Bellevue in the '60s was special - your Dad was one of those who made it so. May he rest in peace.

As a kid I'll never forget the great birthday parties for Jamie. Her Dad would bring us all to Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor and he purchased "The Zoo" (I believe that was the name) which was the biggest item on the menu. Great fun and great childhood memories.
I'm very sorry for your loss. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
