My dear friend Bill:
I was saddened to hear of the loss of your father. I can only imagine how difficult it is to lose such a uniquely extraordinary man, and the attendant sorrow in each of your hearts. May it bring some solace to you, your mom and your brothers (each extraordinary in your own right), that you carry his light forward.
Please extend my deepest condolences to your mom, your brothers, and your entire family.
Respectfully, and with warm regards,
George Harvilla
