I am so sorry for your family’s loss. What a blessing to have your dad for so long.
I wish I could attend the service and see all of childhood neighbors and reminis about old times, but I have a cough.
Sending prayers to all.
Again, so sorry for you loss.

I’m at Ted robins when I join Saint mark’s Catholic church Ted was an individual person well-educated a very good gentleman a good friend and A. Good companion for anybody that needed help he never turned down anybody who he could help. I never heard him gossip on any kind of gossiping. He was always a very polite gentleman to all people he was my hero he was my mentor I am going to miss him very much. May the petrol light shine It was a good steward a good man a good husband a good friend God bless you.
I enjoyed working with him around a church around our home around his garage.
