Dear Gail, Tommy and families. We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Your Dad, Gail, was a lively man who loved to socialize with people. Johnny would often see him at Ritchie''''s Pharmacy and talk with him. I know his passing was sudden for your family and difficult to accept. I think one can only say he''''s in a better place with no pain and suffering and he didn''''t have a long and difficult illness to endure. I write this to you because it''''s how I feel about life and death. I hope time will heal all your sorrow. Keep strong. Love Joanne and John Techiera
