The beginning of this year was challenging to say the least. Today would have been his 82nd birthday and the first I am not able to see or speak to him in person. I am truly grateful for the precious time I was able to spend with my father over the last few years and for the many happy memories we shared since my childhood, camping and hiking together. His unwavering support and guidance greatly contributed to my success in both my personal life and businesses, and I will always cherish the valuable life lessons. He taught me to always do the right thing and leave things better than I found them. These principles continue to inspire me and guide me every day. My father's legacy will live on through the positive impact he had on my life and the lives of those around him. He will be deeply missed, but his spirit will forever be with us.
