I'm so sorry to hear this. I met your dad when he delivered mail to Smith's Pharmacy all the years I worked there. But I had known Robin and Chris already. I used to always wonder how his tall self got in and out of that little mail truck day after day! He was just a sweet man. Thinking of your whole family. Kristen ❤
