I have so many happy memories of spending time at each other’s homes when we were growing up….. Sometimes it doesn’t seem like so long ago. Please accept my deepest sympathy and respect for your dad. I truly know he was a good father. Hold tight to your dearest memories, I know how much you will miss him….and keep your love for him in your hearts forever.
Lee, We have done a lot of things together in the 70 some years, now I have wonderful memories of them,
Thank you Lee.
Rest in peace my friend….John
