Thanks for the warm love this weekend

and the condolences for my Dad. Special thanks to those of you I don't know or know so well who took the time to post. That's the DU spirit, to be sure.

Thanks again. Peace to your hearts for the ripples you set in motion.

2. Hey man...

Thanks a ton for the friendship and recent support. Powerful stuff.

This doesn't do him justice, but here it is:

He saw Nagasaki, was instrumental in designing the electronics for the first mass production of silicon wafers, and knew all of the words to Big River and El Paso, and, hence, took a shine to our beloved GD. In fact, I did a video montage of ancient still pics from his genealogical work and set them to Ripple just about two years ago and he teared up a bit. I'll miss him.

:hug:
