I will miss my step-father of 25 years and continued friend for another 20 years. We always had good long talks and he gave me good fatherly advice. He was always kind and caring and loved his children. He taught me the names of all the football teams and we played tennis and ping pong growing up. It was always special going to the Eau Gallie yacht club driving along beautiful S Tropical trail, maybe getting a little dance in. It was always Roy and I doing dishes after a big holiday dinner. It feels like an end of an era. He had a wonderful life and may he rest in peace. Marilyn Beck (daughter of Yvonne Bixby).
