“Dear Jonathan and Joye, You father was a treasured colleague and friend in the Office of Academic and Student Affairs at MSU. I remember both of you as children and can still picture the photos of you in his office. I hope his final years were peaceful and pain free, and that he enjoyed playing golf until the end.
