Dear Peggy, Doug, and Chuck,

I was so saddened to hear that your dad passed away. He was such a wonderful man and a great father and husband. I loved his sweet spirit and the twinkle in his eye. I have great memories with both of your parents. He will be greatly missed by all. My prayers are with all of you.
