My condolences
Rob, Barb and Family, I am truly sorry for your loss. I only had the pleasure of meeting your Dad once and I will cherish that day forever. The moment is captured is captured in the photo. Leo was fussing and your Dad asked to hold him. There was an instant calm and the way they looked at each other. I can only describe it as a divine connection. It was like they knew each other from like a dream. It was just seconds, but that moment was pure magic and it will stay with me forever. I'm grateful to your Pop for that.🩵 Sending you Prayers and Strength. 🙏🕊️✝️🫂
