Buddy, I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I don't think he ever got over losing Pam, and I hope you take comfort that they are together. I remember him (and you) well from my days in the Solicitor's office when he was with SLED. He was a man of integrity and humility. There are few higher compliments to pay, in my opinion. And he was very proud of you! We spoke in the last few years, and he told me you'd become ordained. I know you miss him. I wish I could come to Georgetown Saturday to pay him tribute. If commitments to 4 children this time of year didn't prohibit it, I certainly would. My father also was born in Georgetown, and TS and I had many great conversations. God bless you and your family.
