It was sad to learn of your father's passing. I have fond memories of the many parties and trips that our parents shared with your dad. I spoke with my mother today and she is waiting to see the obituary in the record. I also sent her a link so that she and Karen can send you a note as well. I will be thinking of you both. All the best. Duncan Prange
