Sad to hear of your father passing. I will never forget the times I sat in your living room, watching videotaped Giants games while your father broke down each play and provided his analysis that would put anyone working at ESPN to shame. These times and many others will never fade from my memory.
I apologize that a work commitment will keep me from the services but I will be thinking of the three of you and him.
