Don and Ty,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. In my brief encounters with him, he struck me as a terrific person -- always warm and friendly. I have never forgotten the wonderful breakfast he made for the band one morning after a long night. It was just a nice, memorable moment which has stuck with me many years. I didn't know him well but he certainly made a lasting impression on me.
My thoughts are with you and your family right now and hope you find comfort in each other and in your friends.
