Jim, Kari, and Darby and families, The world has lost a good man in the passing of your dad, father -in-law and grandpa. Good is defined as helping others. His caring and reaching out were boundless. Corinne, Carol and I have such warm, fond memories of living around the corner from your family in Williston. Your mother and father's hospitality was an open-door always kind of hospitality. They laughed with us, cried with us, lived fully and well. May his Creator give him a share in His/Her glory....and a deck of pinochle cards. Your mother and father are having a happy reunion. Peace.
