Dear Sheila, Sharon, Jeannie, Raymond and Wade, I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. I have so many wonderful memories growing up while running in and out of your household. Your home was our second home and your Mom and Dad made those memories that much more special as they treated Andrea and I like one of their own. I remember your Dad was always tormenting and teasing us (in a fun-loving way of course) and he loved to get Mary going. Whenever you did anything that he thought you shouldn’t have, he would turn his head slightly and look at you with raised eyebrows ... he would begin by saying “Now! Now! ...” in a high-to-low tone kinda voice (I can hear him now) but he would never really get a chance to finish as we would just look at him and laugh in his mid-sentence ... and then that smirk would come across his face. It was hard for him to keep a straight face as he was always having fun and shared that big smile with all of us. I will always hold those sweet memories close to my heart and will miss him dearly ... but will never forget him. Sending lots of love and huge hugs to all of you and your families during this difficult time. Hold your sweet memories close to your heart and your Dad will never leave you:) Love you guys xoxoxoxox
