You all have our deepest sympathy. It is very difficult losing your Dad as I have learned when we lost our Dad (Ron Hennessy) last June. I thought it very special that Bob attended Dad's viewing. Those old DP&L guys always supported each other. Sincerely

The best thing about moving to our house in Greenville was our next door neighbor, Mac. He was such a fun man to be around with a sense of humor and love of life that was contagious. The world just lost a really fine man. Our family will miss you, dear friend.
