I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. I have very good memories of both your Mom and Dad at the 4th of July parties at my parent's house (Ralph & Shirley Stark). Always full of laughter and fun every year – had such a great time. May your memories always be of the joy he brought to everyone's life. Debby Stark Curtis
