Cheryl and Family,
My deepest sympathy to all of you on the loss of your Dad. After just losing my Dad in November, I know exactly what you are going through. Our Dads were very special to us and many memories are brought to the surface whenever I think of them. (Like those "long" trips to Lockport in the "olden days") My Dad and "Uncle Bill" had a great relationship for many years. Now they (and our Moms) are all reunited. Take care and I will keep you in my prayers.
Lynn (Friedl) Petitti and family.
