Journal entry by Erin West —
As many know, Papa passed away on Monday, January 6th peacefully.
We are planning a memorial service and celebration on February 15th at 3pm-7pm at the Hilliard Village Clubhouse (5800 Winthorne St. Hilliard, Ohio 43026).
We anticipate the service taking about 45 minutes and the remainder of the time to be an open house. We will have food and an ice cream bar (ice cream was Papa's go to indulgence).
One request is that if you have any photos of him that you would like to include in the slideshow, please send them to Rich Ball (rich.ball@pobox.com). We would like to represent the many aspects and people in his life--this is true even if you cannot be present.
Lastly, we just want to thank everyone for your support. It is hard to lose a parent. Your kind words has meant much to us.
Attached is a photo of how I remember him...
