To Nancy,Melinda and Jan and Family, I was heartbroken to hear today of your husband and Melinda and Jan's Dad. He was really special and I have so many memories at your house in Ventura, I was thought him and my Dad were the best Fathers in the world and how lucky we were. He always treated me great and always said so many funny things. It was so fun, back then while Melinda and I went to Ventura College and your house was so close to there. You all were like a second family to me. I was so lucky to have been a part of your life. I had so many laughs with you guys. Adored your Dad. Love Sherry Taylor/Maltman and Family
