My Deepest Sympathy
Michelle and Michael, I just happened to be on Facebook and saw this. I am so very, very sorry for the loss of your dad. I worked with him for over 10 yrs at Whitford. He was the King and was always there for me if I ever needed anything. He would tell me all the time I am driving him crazy...jokingly of course. My heart is breaking for you both and the rest of your family. He was a very special man with a heart of gold. He will be truly missed. Many prayers and comfort to all of you. A shot of Crown Royal for the King... Sincerely, JoAnn DeBiasio
