Dad, I have so many fond memories of you. Looking back on my childhood I remember how loving and faithful you were to Mom and what a dedicated father you had been to us by providing everything we ever needed. That is truest expression of love. You had mastered the art of patience and knew how to make things calm when needed. Slow with tongue and quick with the hugs.
As an adult our relationship grew stronger which was absolutely wonderful. I will keep a special place in my heart for all the things we shared. The road trips, cruises, ball games, casinos, movies, lunches and dinners we did together are the best because I got to do them with you. A smile comes across my face when I think of you fondness of ice cream and candy. It is truly an honor to have known you as man and blessing to get to call you my Father. I love you dearly and will miss you madly but I know I will see you again.
All my love from you daughter, Laura
