Dear Lynn,
Sorry to hear of your father’s passing. I enjoyed your dad (and mother) while growing up in Shadysideburglandville. When visiting family in town and when your dad was in the restaurant, we would chat about your mom. my parents, his music collection. A most pleasant person and a decent and polite man. While our Father has taken him home, he is now with Betty, other loved ones and angels.
God Bless,
Cindy
