My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this very difficult time.
Your father was such a great guy. I always enjoyed talking to him whenever I ran into him. He was a very special man.
I would always ask about you, and his eyes would light up!!
He was so proud of you, and loved you so much.
He will be missed by many.
