Nancy, I'm sure I saw your dad when I would visit Gwidt's drugstore with my parents or grandparents to get a treat of candy, ice cream, etc. as a kid, growing up in Stevens Point. He lived a long life till 86, good for him. May he rest in peace. Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.
