Dear Friends and Family,
Thank you so much for all your kind words, thoughts and prayers and expressions of sympathy at this time. Our family greatly appreciates all of you and your support.
Our father was a great man and a great Dad and he lived a long full life with many successes.
I believe he was blessed to be taken by God without long suffering.
May God bless you all.
The Robert "Legs" Whitcomb family
