We didn't have the pleasure of knowing your Dad, Tanya except for the last few years but, I'll always remember his smile and how happy go lucky he was. He was so agreeable to anything we wanted to do and would carry on with Conrad and Jim and crack us all up! You are the best daughter he could have ever wished for and I know he was a special Dad and Grandpa. There was always an abundance of love between you all. Our deepsest condolences go out to you, Jim and Jordan. We love you all
