"Sheri, so sorry for the loss of your father! I worked with him at the Washington Post Office for only 15 months. I liked him instantly, I could tell he was going to be an awesome coworker! So funny, so caring, and a great friend. He was like a Dad to me, since my Dad died in 1980 at 43 years of age. I will miss him!! Hugs and prayers to all his family and friends!! Love, Nancy Ash "
