Thank you all for your kind condolences; we all greatly appreciate your taking the time to write something here, and coming to Dad's visitation, those of you who were able to. Dad was truly one of a kind, and I felt so blessed to have had him for a father-in-law...he always spoiled me like I was his favorite daughter. He was such a sweetheart, as was Jim's Mom, too. Now they are together, and, I'm sure, as inseparable in heaven as they were here on earth. RIP, Dad!! And Mom!! We miss you...
