Over his last several years Dad and I would walk each week to the Salt Marsh where Dad had become fond of all the creatures. He even gave names to each of the lizards like Larry and Lucretia. The last thing Dad said to me before he died was “can we go see the lizards?”

I miss you Dad, I love you Dad, and I am grateful for your gifts of Love and Service.
