Bill, Kim, Alli and family,
Dad was a real stand up guy. Although I didn't know him as well as some others, I knew him to be a good man who stood by his family and enjoyed the good things life and family had to offer.
During this sad time I pray for healing for you all.... May the Creator be with you now and always. I know that one day we'll all be fishin' together again!
God Bless.

Allison & Family, My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this very difficult time, as God has called another angel to come home and know that you will always have a very special guardian angel to watch over you.
