My wife and I extend our condolences to your family. Enjoyed visiting with your Mom and Dad when they still made the trip to Florida to get a head start on the baseball season. We would talk baseball and catch up on the news from Alberta. Learned a great deal about my father, also a member, who had great respect for your Dad and which I shared.
