I will forever treasure knowing this wonderful man, my father-in-law. I will especially remember him for his beautiful and rich baritone voice. The first time I heard him sing was when he sat next to me at the piano, shortly after his son Bob and I were married, and handed me a stack of sheet music to play. His voice filled the room and I was hooked. After meeting his family and friends at the funeral, I learned how he touched the lives of so many with his talents and longevity attitude. He had a calming effect on everyone he met. He would say in his Franco American patois, "worry pas" (not to worry, in literal translation).
