Larry, I am so sorry to hear this news. My prayers go out to you and your family about this loss. I met him only a few times and noted what a gentle man he was. I wish I could have been there as you and Pat were there for me years ago.

Terry and Penny,
I'm sorry to see you've lost a loved one. My prayers are with you and your family. With pretty much the original funnel cake crew in heaven, I'm sure they can teach your Dad how to make a good one. Thinking of you guys.

Larry, Terry and Tony,
I am so sorry for the loss of Uncle Joe. He touched so many lives and was such a gentle and kind man. He will be missed greatly. I have so many fond memories of him and Aunt Margaret, two wonderful people. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
