Timmy, Kathy, Shawn and Maryellen, It is with a heavy heart that I offer my condolences to you and your families for the loss of your father. I greatly admired and respected your dad and the way he lived his life, especially his quiet, tireless strength and devotion to your family. Growing up I remember thinking that there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do once he put his mind to it. He and your mom were so good to me and will always have a special place in my heart.
