Dear Moira (and Family) - I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Your dad was really one heck of a fun character. We have been in Florida since early April so we were unable to attend the services. Being in Florida reminds us of the good time we had when we met up with you and your parents near the Redington - Indian Rocks Beach area several years ago.

Our prayers are with you and your family.

Love, Diana & Paul
