I know it´s been awhile since his passing, but i worked at the subway he would always go to. He always got a tuna sub(but every once in awhile he would switch to ham) he loved when you knew exactly what he wanted on his sub without having to ask. he would always fill out the survey on our receipt and get two free cookies, he usually got oatmeal raisin or the raspberry white chocolate ones. He was my favorite customer, I am so sorry for your guys´ loss.

Our memories are full of the moments Dad. Reading a story, jumping in a pool to pull someone out, always a listening ear even if you didn't always say much but you always ended with I love you....sharing about the latest Derby winner.....discussing politics...well ok disagreeing on some politics but always hearing your heart for justice, watching the grandkids games or horseback riding, playing cribbage, cutting down the Christmas tree in the middle of the forest, and so many more countless moments. That made a lifetime...see you at the homecoming Dad. We love and miss you so.
