My deepest sympathy to Keith, Rod and Darryl on the passing of your dad. He was always a good person to me as was your mom. I miss laughing when your dad called your mom DorASS when he got mad at her. I will never forget all the laughs and help your parents were to me through the years. Even as kids when we had picnics, or went to Great America your dad made it fun and he was such a trooper going with all of us crazy young kids. I am grateful Rod that you and I, my mom and my sister had lunch with your dad and was able to catch up and have some more laughs. I will never forget him.
