What an honor it was to call this man a friend. His devotion to his family, especially Mary, was an example of how a great man lives his life. We will miss him when we visit OH, but will always be grateful for the blessing of all the time spent with him, whether at the great Fourth of July parties in Fremont, at Elm's Pizza or at Fred and Barb's home in Newark. Rest in Peace.
