Faye, I am so sorry your Dad's life ended the way it did. He certainly lived his last few years on his own terms! He always told me how his siblings were in poor health, yet he drank pots of coffee and smoked everyday and had no health problems 😊 I'm also sorry I can't be at his funeral. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers Lynette

Faye, I am so sorry to hear that your Dad has passed away. I will miss having coffee and visiting with him at his home in Wanham. He would always send me on my way with a bag of cookies and lots of stories of bus trips and tips on plants and flowers. He certainly lived an interesting life. My thoughts are with You and your family,... Sincerely,... Jonathon
