Dear Chris, Linda and families: Our deepest sympathies to all of you. What a sweet man your father was! He will be greatly missed by many and I know he will be dearly missed by all of you. I really enjoyed knowing both your parents. I know he was sad and lonely when your mom passed away. So finding comfort knowing they are together again will hopefully help. I will miss seeing him sit in his favorite spot at Church. As did your mom, he will leave behind a big void in many people’s lives, including me and the rest of the Church family. Sincerely, Nancy & Matt Caid
