Carm, Hillary, Bruce and Ken...
I'm so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. The first 20 years of my life were spent right next door and your dad installed the electrical panel in my house.
I still love telling this story (and often do)...
When I was in girl scouts, I needed a ride to the Memorial Day parade in the village of East Syracuse. Mr Churchill offered to take me - ON THE FIRE TRUCK - he had to to take it to the parade anyway, so why not LOL. We drove to the station to get the truck and then on to the parade. So yup, all my friends got to see me get out of the truck. On the way home, we didn't go back to the station, he dropped me at the house and blew the siren as we pulled up. Fifty years ago and I still carry that memory and that story.
