My condolences for the loss of your father. A true gentleman, he was always well groomed and ready for conversation with his friends. I know you will miss him but he is now where he wanted to be, with his wife.

Sorry to hear the loss of one of the nicest men I ever knew. He took me and Scotty to my very first St Louis Cardinal's game when I was very young. Rest in peace Uncle Jim.
