We lost our beloved "Dada" on Monday morning when his heart went into failure.  The staff at OLOL Hospital tried for over two hours to resusitate him without success.  His passing has left a huge hole in our hearts. Please keep our family and the extended family members and friends in your prayers.  We're all hurting and missing Glynn so very much.
 
Here is a link to a photo album I compiled from old blog posts.  I plan on printing this up for the boys in a book.  Dada sure was a big part of our lives.
