My sincerest condolences to your family. I was doing a search on Lani and was saddened to find that he passes as well and his father. I have very fond memories of spending many hours at your house when we lived of Bay View Haven, just down the road from your house.
I hope you are all in good health, and I think of you all and the wonderful times at your home when we lived there.
Sincerely
