Many Thanks: I want to begin by thanking the many of you who sent condolences at the passing of my father. He was a truly great man, and we are truly grateful for the impact he had. We are also grateful for how many of you recognized the value of the impact he had. And …
My father was born October 6, 1927, and he entered into glory last night, May 25, 2022. As we remember his life and legacy in the days to come, I will obviously have more to say, but I wanted to register one central thing at the outset. I wanted to thank God for giving me …
