This is his response from our short email conversation today:

Well Amanda, this is easy, just tell him just what you told me, he will understand. I’m sure he is happy to communicate by texting and hopefully talking (in the future)
And yes, I copied Larry to save you from doing it. This is not an unreasonable reason for Facebook friending.

I'll send him a text. He keeps wanting me to add him to Facebook, but I just can;t, because of the comments he makes (I have coworkers and donors who follow me too), so I feel bad, but it's not the only way to communicate.

And, can you verify where Grumpy's cemetery is for me?

Larry is still having problems. He is on a “no talk” time for Trachea problems going back to December.
Don’t call him, but you can text him.
You are welcome, and you enjoy the time off.

Love, Dad
