William, thank you for your tribute to our Daddy, he was the most gentle man in the world, so were all the other names that you listed.
To sad to really say much, we were not able to get home due to current pandemic, it was completely out of nowhere for us to lose our Daddy, he was the youngest in his family and the last one to go. He has many legacies.
I’m very privileged to be one of his children.
I miss calling him every Saturday night so Sunday morning here in NZ. He did have Alexa, so we would talk a few times a week & Daddy always said “sure right in the room with me, we would sit and babble to eachother, we could see each other on the device, I’m so grateful for technology.
