I remember him telling me recently that it’s hard when I have out lived everyone that I knew. He had 96 years and one month of great memories. Not ever did I ever hear him speak badly of anyone nor did anyone ever say a bad word of Dad. He was always there if you needed him. He left us a great legacy and some very big shoes to fill and we all have been blessed to know him.
