Dear Craig, We are very sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Our heartfelt condolences go out to you and your whole family. During our conversations, we learned that your dad was a hard-working passionate farmer with a lot of foresight and a great guy who also liked to socialize with his friends. Especially your story from him losing his wedding ring and finding the ring joyfully long after by a one in a million chance, showing how important your mom was to him. He will certainly be cherished by all who knew him forever. May the fond memories of family time with your dad bring you comfort during this difficult time. The Bleeker family
