Serge - Your dad surely was one of the great generation. He touched my life by making me smile inside to know there are good people in this world who derive pleasure by sharing and giving to others. His pachysandra lives on in my front garden to this day. Whenever I enjoy Rhode Island clam chowder, it brings me back to a visit to the cottage and the lake. Not sure if it was your Dad or your Mom who was the soup maker. He will be missed and remembered by many.
