Peg Nikolai says
so sorry to learn of the death of your father. He and my husband Bob were very good friends. They had many good memories of all the shenanigans that they did. Bob passed away three years ago so they are together in Heaven probably giving the angels a hard time. They were both very good men and are sorely missed.
