Sammy, Pete, Sharon and Michael and the rest of the family. So sorry to hear about the loss of dad. I have many fond memories of your dad and mom growing up. My first vacation to California was with your family. Your dad was a great man with great stories and a fantastic sense of humor. My love thoughts and prayers are with you all.
