I was sorry to hear that your dad had passed way. He always had such a dry sense of humor when I would see him mostly in Walmart. He would see me and would turn around and go the other way knowing that I saw him. Of coarse we would meet on the next aisle and talk forever. His favorite thing to say when I would get ready to leave was, I’m not through talking you don’t have anywhere to go. I know you all will miss him so much but you can find comfort in the fact that he is with your mom now. They were together for so long and he was lost without her. Now they can be together and he won’t be sad and lonesome anymore.
