Bill:

Your Dad was just such a wonderful man. A loving husband and father and a very special friend to so many. He always had a smile on his face and kind words to say. He will be missed but also remembered so fondly. He will now be back with your Mom but will live on with you always.

A gentle, kind, and loving man who will be dearly missed.
