So sorry to hear of the passing of your dad, Mark, Randy & Lisa. His obituary mentioned his love of the ocean. We always remember at family gatherings his quiet presence just enjoying the event. But he was always interested to hear any news of Cape Cod: fishing vessels that had trouble in winter waters, shark or whale sittings, photos of tall ships and eventually Stephs ship that sailed through the canal, unusual ocean freezes....You just knew his appreciation & joy of being able to live by the water himself for many years.
