We are deeply sorry for your loss. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Acton, I felt I knew him through my dearest long time friend, Kim and her sister, Stephanie who loved and adored their Father. Their hearts are broken and I am feeling that with them. He was a handsome man and I see that twinkle in his eye in Hunter & Brett. He will live on in the hearts and memories of those who loved him. May God Bless your family during this time of true sorrow. We love you.

Our deepest condolences on your loss. Several years ago after we commented on the amazing pancake/fish batter mix, he began sending us some at Christmas. We intern would send him Air Force or Colorado keepsakes. It was so sweet of him to think of us every year. He will be missed.
