My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I had the opportunity to work with your father years ago. He was indeed a man that represented his family, company, and community well. My prayers are with you...Isaiah 26:3-4 (Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength...)
