Helene, Dave and family....I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. I remember so many stories about him that Helene shared over the years. One being " If you ever notice the lock on public bathroom stalls, it was most likely made at my dad's machine shop". I think of that memory often. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time.
