"Nancy, Mario, and Andy, I am very sorry for your loss. Your Dad was a great guy. I will always remember the time I spent with him at his houses in Arizona. He would peel me fruit he just picked of his tree and we would sit outside and talk. Your parents created an awesome family--stay together. Love, Tom Nasshan"
