Daniel and Mark, so sorry to hear of your dads passing. We have so many memories of him. Quite a guy-he’ll be missed and we will especially miss him stopping by ever so often just to say hi. He was looking pretty frail the last time he stopped. You boys support each other during this trying time and know that your dad was loved by many just as you both were his pride and joy. Keep in touch and let us know if we can help in any way. Wendell and Cooky

I had known your folks for many years. Met your dad when we had the local art group and always enjoyed when it was re-enactment time and the stories they would tell. Prayers for your families as your dad joins your mom!
