My prayers 🙏 go out to Lisa and her family. I did not have the honor to get to know him, but I have heard a lot about him through his daughter. She always has a funny story to tell when we share our daily struggles and adds him into conversation, telling me what he would do! He should be so proud of the daughter he has raised. So professional and caring at work and at home. she always has a smile and a laugh to add when you see her. I’m sure you taught her all that! You will always be remembered through Lisa . ❤️ Rich Buterbaugh and family.
So sorry Prayers for all🙏
