My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. My late husband Peter was a dear friend of your dads. I also enjoyed your dads company…we had even driven him to Penn. on our way to New York a couple of years ago..I enjoyed listening to the sports trivia the two played all the way up there!! The two of them could have written a book! Their weekly poker games were something they both looked forward to….I can only imagine the game they are playing together now! Blessings to your family.
