Personal note

Daddy will be missed by so many people. He loved to make people smile. He was a 49er fanatic and supported them even when no one else did. Dad learned to ride a unicycle when he was younger. He never met a stranger and taught us all so much. Dad played on a pool league for years and was quite good at the sport.
