Ed,
I'd say to check your PM's, but perhaps a bit past that now. Your dad was a friend of ours, a VERY good friend, and one of the pillars of the integrity of this forum and I doubt that anyone would argue that. He is also the person that I credit with the term JABC as he was the instrument that caused that degree of honesty to be expressed here. I, like may here, never actually met your dad other than 'on line', but he was nonetheless a person of standing and at the same time a person with a wonderful sense of humor and an honesty that most folks could or should look to emulate.
To say that he shall be missed is sublime understatement. I/we appreciate your keeping us informed and we are sorry in the most genuine sense for your loss, tho it is ours too .. and that is the message we would most like conveyed to your family. Your dad already grasps and understands that, and you as a person do him honor by your actions seen here; God bless you and yours. Russ is already more than OK.
