Big thanks to all for the lovely kind wishes on and off list! Dad’s memorial mass is scheduled for July 31st. We are having a “Drambuie Toast” to my dad at the family home following mass.
Dad loved Drambuie, and allowed us kids to take sips starting at the age of 5. I had my first sip at a Chinese restaurant called the Golden Pheasant here in Chicago. Thanks again. Much appreciated.
