In Passing

On a personal note, my dad, Bob, passed away last Friday. Many of you knew him through the many Miami Valley Golf events he played in, or as my lifelong caddie. To me, he was Dad, always ready for whatever came his way and always there for us. He gave generously of his time to our family and community, and we will miss him greatly.
