I am so so sorry to hear that Ike has passed. My dad loved him like a brother and I like to imagine them sharing a beer together now. I have wonderful memories of the picnics out in west Bellaire. I can still see him smiling. I hope you are all at peace and let your happy memories bring you comfort.
