Mike & family,
So sorry to hear of your dad’s passing.
I have a some fond memories of him, from the short time I lived just a few houses away. Among them, the time he brought me a pair of new boots, that I really wanted lol. Another time he showed up at our house dressed as Santa Claus.
I’m sure you all have many wonderful memories him.
How very fortunate you’ve been to have him around to see all those grandkids and great grandkids.
My sympathies to the entire family,
Carolyn (Mili) Bolduc.
