Thinking of you, Dad - so long and yet I still know the swirl of hair on your left arm from the time you carried me around Expo '67.

Dad, I just found your obit, here, when I was updating Mom's. You were gone so long before we all had websites and internet that this is not anything like the tribute it should be - am just about to undertake to fix that! Miss you and love you always.
