Judy, Spike, Tracy, Terri and David: It is sad to hear of your husband and father's passing. Growing up together, we all got to know everyone's parents as well. It was great to grow up with so many families in our old neighborhood. Good friends with good parents. I'll never forget your dad and I'm sorry that his life here on earth has ended. Please accept our condolences and I'm sorry that we are not able to see you. My wife and I just moved to Phoenix, AZ. May God bless you and care for you at this time.
