    Dawn and Derek- My sympathies are with you and your families. I worked with your Dad at the prison. He was very proud of both of you, and his grandsons. He was a very nice man. He always had a story to make you smile. I’m very happy to call him a friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May he rest in peace! God bless. Judy
