Oh Deb. I'm so sorry. May his memory be a blessing. My own mother loved doing the daily crossword - with pencil to newsprint - to keep her mind sharp. I started doing them later in life after observing the joy and satisfaction she derived from solving them during our weekly family get-togethers. And after a time, I too was hooked. Mom passed in 2022 due to a body that unfortunately couldn't keep up with her abundent mental abilities. I miss her every day, and think of her while entering letters into the grid. May the crossword puzzle tradition continue the memory.
