Rod and Adele,
My sympathy on the passing of your parents. My memory of them is of two very genuine, warm, and interested people. Your Mom's smile could light up a room and your Dad's eyes were very engaging. It was a blessing to have known them. Our parents were pioneers for the grand event the Super Bowl has become beginning with the Super Bowl IV get together in 1970. Super Bowl Sunday with the Damers was an annual highlight for several of my jr. high and high school years. If I remember right, you had a pinball machine in the finished basement that was a real novelty at a home back then and a lot of fun. The Dads certainly had a few of those cold beers and some good laughs as well. May the Lord bless you and your extended family.
