So sorry, Lisa, to read about the passing of your father. He sure seemed like a nice guy, which knowing you, isn't at all surprising. Hope you, your mom, siblings and descendants can move past the sadness sooner rather than later and letting your thoughts turn instead to all the good memories you made together. Patrick and Ian send their condolences, too.
