Bill, so sorry to hear that your dad passed. I will miss talking to him and saving me a parking space in front of my house. I have a problem walking, so I use to plan getting back to the neighborhood when your dad usually would leave your place for his home. I also wanted him to give me advive on fixing my curb like he did yours. I will miss him also.
