Karen and family.
On behalf of me and my mother Mariette, our heart-felt condolences to your entire family on the loss of your father. He was a very good friend of my late dad Ed. Through him and during my brief period while working at Combustion, I knew your dad quite well. He was always kind to me and my father had the greatest of respect for him. He was more than a co-worker to Ed...but a close friend...whose friendship went back many years. I'm sure you've heard countless stories of their escapades from many a boiler site from around the world.
I hope that you and your family are doing well and that you will keep fond memories of your dear dad.
Take care and best wishes,
Mark Byron
