Thanks so much to everyone who attended our beloved father’s funeral. In particular, the ladies and gentlemen from the Navy Club who gave dad such a wonderful send off, we appreciate it so much!
The respect, dignity and love that you bought were priceless and we will never forget it. God bless you all.
