Dolly and Tony,

I'm very sad to hear about your Dad. So many memories of such wonderful times at the Redwood. Nick always welcomed people as if you were family. Danny and I always had many laughs and great times when we were there.

He was always so proud of his children and grandchildren, displaying the newest pictures of them.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Keep your happy memories close in your heart, they will always bring a smile to your face when you are sad.
