Lynn, Barb and Rob, I’m so sorry for the loss of your father. Growing up, I always looked forward to our beach vacations and spending time with your dad and mom. Over the years there have been many happy memories of our families together, having cocktails, laughs and rounds of golf. Love and hugs to you all and your families.
