I just learned of your Dad’s passing & wanted to say how many memories I have of your Dad. He had such fun teasing us (& your Mom!) & that grin of his… that is when he wasn’t sending us to the basement for making so much noise!! Smile as memories come to you and celebrate his life. Sending prayers & love.
