My sympathy to your family at this sad time. While I didn't have the privilege of knowing M. L. for very long, I know Bob thought highly of him. I did have the blessing of coming to one of the many fish fries that he shared with his friends. It was then that I learned that Monica was one of his daughters. (I remembered her from her childhood at school.) Obviously he was well-loved. May your memories sustain you at this time.
