Laura,Julia and family,
Amy and I want to express our condolences to you on the passing of your dad.
He was a very fine person and one with many diverse skills and abilities. He was an awarded educator, a highly skilled dentist,a government administrator and a military commander of the highest caliber....not to mention he could skin a catfish faster than anyone I have ever seen.
But best of all was his humane qualities;he was gracious, kind, truthful, and respectful to all.
Phil was my supervisor in the VA and my commanding officer in the Louisiana National Guard, but I always looked on him more of a valued friend rather than just a supervisor.
Although we hadn't seen each other since retirement, we stayed in touch. It was an honor and privilege to know your dad.  He will be greatly missed.
