    Dale and Kristi, my thoughts and prayers are with you both. I know how it is to lose someone close, whether a parent, child or spouse. We know your dad lived a full life and is, as they say, in a better place. I won't be able to make the funeral but I'll try my best to attend the visitation Thursday. Again, sorry for your loss. Joe
