Sorry for your loss. Now he is in a better place and now has family in heaven too.
Dellis was always a fun guy and will be missed nearly. Miss those days when we all would get together and play poker and just have fun.
Your Dad had a special place in my heart. When I was 5 he took me to a little fair. He told me he wanted to take a pretty blond niece. I thought oh no he got stuck with me. I asked if he found her and he said it was me. He bought me a american flag and said never let it touch the ground because it was disrespectful. I was clueless.
