    Dear Cary and Jeanne, We are so sad for the lose of your well loved Father. To have a Dad that was such a lovely and caring presence is surely a great loss . Although we never met him, the sparkle in your eyes when you spoke of him and the light in his eyes says that he enriched and touched everyone he came in contact with.... that is rare and endearing. Our hearts are with you both and the rest of your family as you move through these times. Much love and affection , Ross and Linda Totushek and family .
