I'm very sorry for your loss. I liked your dad a lot, I thought he was pretty cool. As a little boy I remember when he would wash your uncle's transport truck and when he was done he would take me with him to return it. That was awesome riding in a big truck like that. Sounded like he really wanted you to know how much he loved you reaching out to you like that before passing away. Please send my condolences to Laura Lee and just know, I'm giving you both a big hug.
