To Janet and Gene,

My sincerest sympathies on the loss of your Dad. It was only late in life that I had the chance to fully realize what a fine man he was. He was not only a true self-made success, he was also one of the best role models as a family man. He had personal warmth and a social conscience. There's not too much more one can ask of any man. May his soul rest in peace.
