My Father was and always will be a very n remarkable man, There wasn't anything that he couldn't do and he was always there for us kids and for anyone in need, He was known by lots as KT the best mechanic in the state of Virginia and many other states as well. Many trucker driver's out there on the street today know my dad and the kind of man he was and the kind of person he was. He is no longer fighting to hang on to life he has now been allowed to rejoin my mother,Lillian and His Mom Denver and his DAD Robert aong with our baby brother. My dad may not be here in the flesh but I can assure that he is there in the spirit watching over each and everyone of his kids and loved ones and even his adopted kids and as many know they are a lot of you out there. My Dad could make you smile and laugh and he could make you question yourself and evrything that you do but as long as you knew that this was where you are meant to be and where you are meant to go he appreciated that. My Father had awesome morals and everyone loved him. he was from the old school where women were treated with the upmost respect and honor and al kids had there place too, ****To Be Seen Not Heard**lol but Daddy had a way with kids to he loved to laugh and carry on with them. My Father was a true Marine and most important he was a true and honest man one many looked up to and one all of us will miss. This world lost a great man 8/31/09 at 9:13pm They lost my Daddy. I love you daddy and I will always love you and miss you,
