    So sorry to hear of your Father's passing. I know he was deeply loved by all of you! I will miss his cheerfulness in the drive thru at Cigarette Express and seeing him at Sport & Bait Lounge and dancing with him there. I will miss his laughter and his oneriness. You all have so many loving memories of him - cherish the moments you had! Remember he is happy now to be with your Mom. Take Care!
