    Kathy, Mike, and Karen, so sorry for your loss. Your dad is a great person. I have fond memories of him from being my grade school basketball coach, and attending Mon Valley football games. He also gave me my first "real" job taking care of his horses and landscape at Larchmont Farms. He always treated me with respect!!
