On April 13th, 2015, we lost a great man to a long fought battle with Parkinson's Disease. He was the husband to my Mom (Gayle) and Dad to my brothers (Zach, Abe, and Jake) and sisters (Hope and Mollie). Aside from our immediate family, Dad leaves behind a trail of others (former colleagues, former employees, and friends) that he made feel part of the family. His presence in our lives will be greatly missed while he is in heaven playing majestic golf courses, bringing down the house at the blackjack tables, singing to the crowd, and ultimately watching over us to make sure we are all taken care of.
We all love and miss you....Rest in peace!
