Thank you to all who loved and supported dad in life and reached out after his passing. Though the family is mourning in private, I created a video to share a bit of his life story. It can be viewed here under Memories or at https://youtu.be/BWl8kDE7UYI

My intention is honor his life and memory, and I apologize for any inaccuracies.

As I think of my own life unfolding in chapters and realize Dad's life stretched out in the same way, I wish I knew and understood more about his 90 years. You shared in and impacted his life, whether for a short time or a long time. Please add your memories if you are so inclined.
