I send you my condololences from with all my heartfelt sympathy. I can only imagine how much his family will miss him. In some ways he was like my grandpa Felo; quiet, humble, and quite an intellectual for a man of very few words. They both shared the same birthday, 'same day as Winston Churchill' Grandpa always said. I just lost my Grandma Carmen a few weeks ago so I know this is a difficult time.
Remember just like a lot of us, I'm here for you. I'll be thinking and praying for all of you.
