Dan, I know how important your dad was to you and how you loved him at all times. Never did a father have a son that honored him more than you did. Both of you were blessed to be a part of each other’s lives. Know that Carol and I are sending our love to you and your family at this difficult time.
Thanks you Dale and Carol.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this most difficult time.
Sending our deepest condolences,
