Brad, Kevin and families,
I was very sorry to hear about the passing of your dad and grandfather. Saw him not too long ago at Liberty Village. Know that you are in my thoughts at this time. I often think about all the great times we had skating, playing hockey, fishing and frogging at the ponds behind your house.
