    My sincere condolence to your family on your loss. I have only been living on the 2600 block for the last 5 years. I would often see your father out gardening and speak with him. It was just last week that he was out front and I asked him for some advice on keeping the weeds out of the grass. He was so kind and nice to talk to. So sorry for your loss.
