October 2, 2021 at 3:40 pmYour dad was always sweet to me. He was so delighted when I brought him homemade desserts, no matter what variety and he told me they would disappear very quickly! I know it was very hard for him after your mom died, but he kept trying. He was always very grateful and gracious when I helped out with something and he typically apologized for being “a pain”. He was not a pain. Just an aging man with a hopefully good life behind him, who tried his best even when his body started to fail him. I will always remember his eyes lighting up for the desserts and his gentle voice and laughter. Rest easy, Bob.
