So sorry to hear of Dick’s passing. Mike and I send our condolences to all of you.
I am very sorry to hear about your father and sorry was unable to attend the services. It has been a tough year for Campises last New years day and this New Years day. I had lung cancer one year and open heart surgery the next. But I am doing much better now. Again we are all very sorry about Dick
