As believers we know that he is rejoicing in the Presence of the Lord.

I worked with your Dad many years at Solvay. He was a wonderful man who always had something nice to say. We enjoyed many years of bowling with him in a league in Pasadena. We always exchanged Christmas cards, even this past Christmas, to let each other know how we were doing. It warms my heart knowing that your Dad is in Heaven! Prayers being said for you and your family during this time.
