My condolences to Erin, Brett and your family. You, his children, are proof of how great a father he was. Through all the trials in his life, he still kept that smile and always had time to say hello and talk, genuine talk not just passing conversation. Whenever I had Cowboys gear on he never missed a chance to get on me, he loved his Eagles. Rest In Peace Tippy. Jerry Harnish
