Thank you for our kind condolences. May I mention that it occurs to me that it's of note that he and I met up again just in time to collaborate on his genealogy until he couldn't do so any longer. He then "passed the torch" to me to continue alone. I told him that I would continue research and maintain the tree, and am keeping my promise to him. Again, your thoughtful condolences are greatly and warmly appreciated.
