Bill,
We were so sorry to hear about your Dad. Please accept our condolences. Our parents were always such good friends from the time they were young, getting to know each other because of Glenn and Steve, continuing that friendship into their later years. Your parents were great people to visit , both always had a smile for you. They will both be missed.
