His guidance and his unconditional love for his family and everyone he knew will be deeply missed. We are consoled knowing he is happy and with Eleanor again. We will miss his greeting, “Hey, kid!” We wish to say “Dad, you deserve to rest in peace for a life well lived. Thanks for all the life lessons you taught us. We use them every day.” The family wishes to express appreciation to Willow Point Nursing Home, West Wing, for all their compassionate care and friendships.
