Liz and family - my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of great sadness. Your Dad was an exceptional man and I know how much he will be missed. I have fond memories of coming to visit during college breaks and having him take extreme interest in everything I was doing; he wanted to hear it all! He has truly earned an everlasting dwelling place in heaven....Paula

Liz and Family - Your father was a wonderful man. I have many fond memories of the stories he would tell of his travels and of your family while we were supposed to be working on our high school English projects. Remember the Brian Boitano connection? Although it is hard to let go, we know he is in a better place. My prayers are with all your family.
