Angie & family,

My most sincere condolences to you and your family.

So very sorry for your loss, Angie and Brenda. My thoughts are with your family. May his memory be a blessing to you.
Blessed to have known him early as a child then an awkward teen… almost as cool as Eric, almost as funny as Troy and with a heart almost as kind as Nancy’s… took Eric as the smart one and then later as the luckiest dad with three blondies. Love that you experienced that fourth blessing of a boy. Wishing all the family healing and peace.
