I'm sorry for your loss.

Prayers to you and the family.

Sounds like a great man. His family knows that.

Pam, I'm so sorry for your family's loss. Again, if there's anything I can do to help you know where to find me.

I'd only known your Dad casually for the last few years from a few interactions with him at the store, but it wasn't until this year that he and I really got a chance to talk more than just in passing. He was truly a remarkable man and definitely had some great stories along with a wealth of knowledge.
I am 100% confident in saying that he will be missed by all who knew him.

Rest In Peace, Wain.

Pam:
Sincere condolences to you and your family. Your dad was a class act, and he's lucky to have you to carry on his legacy.
