Mark, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I have thought of him so often since my dad (Justy) passed away 2 years ago. Your dad was the best friend to my dad. He was so generous and giving (even though my dad was so difficult to get along with.) I will be forever grateful for your dads generosity.
My deepest sympathies,
Cari
