So sorry for your loss & your families will be in my thoughts & prayers. May he rest in peace. I got to know your parents through doing their income taxes each year. I really missed my visits with him each year after he had to leave his home. After your Mom passed away I still continued to do your Dad's tax returns . He & I would sit & visit after I was finished & he would talk about his family. - Posted by: Margaret Martin (Friend) on: Dec 16, 2017
